Hibiscus 1845

"Hibiscus" is a woodblock print created by Utagawa Hiroshige in 1845. Known for his landscapes, Hiroshige also captured the beauty of nature's delicate details, as seen in this print. The vibrant orange and yellow hibiscus flowers stand out against a muted gray background, accented by the contrasting green and blue leaves. This work demonstrates Hiroshige's mastery of color and detail, characteristic of the ukiyo-e style, which flourished in Japan during the Edo period.
