105. Oumayagashi 1857

"105. Oumayagashi" is a woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, created in 1857. The artwork depicts a tranquil scene of a river, likely the Sumida River in Edo (present-day Tokyo), with figures in a boat and a lone figure rowing on the water. The scene is framed by lush greenery, including a weeping willow tree and a large tree with branches that extend into the sky. The artist's signature style of subtle color gradients and delicate lines creates a sense of peace and serenity, capturing the beauty of the natural world. This work is a prime example of Hiroshige's "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," a series of ukiyo-e prints showcasing the captivating landscapes and vibrant culture of Edo during the Edo period.
