No. 45 c. 1835 - 1838

"No. 45" is a woodblock print from the *Famous Views of the Sixty-odd Provinces* series, created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858). The print, which features a picturesque landscape with a winding river, a bridge, and a line of travelers passing through a village, showcases Hiroshige's mastery of color and perspective. This series of prints, known as *Tōkaidō* in Japanese, is considered one of the most popular and influential works of ukiyo-e art. This particular print, "No. 45," is a horizontal *ōban* print and is currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
