Namazu 1906

This woodblock print, titled "Namazu" (1906), is one of a series by the famous Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige (I) (1797–1858), depicting the "Sixty-nine Stations of the Tokaido Road." It's an example of the "ukiyo-e" genre, which translates to "pictures of the floating world," and depicts scenes of everyday life in Edo-period Japan. "Namazu" depicts travelers walking along the Tokaido Road, through a landscape of pine trees and a distant bridge.
