"Kameyama--Clear Weather after Snow" is a woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, created around 1832-1833. This landscape print, part of his "Sixty-Nine Stations of the Kisokaido Road" series, depicts a winding mountain path with snow-capped peaks and a gentle, blue sky. The work showcases Hiroshige's characteristic use of vibrant colors and meticulous detail, capturing the tranquility of a post-snowfall scene. The print's composition is expertly balanced, with the prominent pine trees leading the viewer's eye towards the distant mountaintop. This ukiyo-e masterpiece, known for its aesthetic beauty and historical significance, is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of woodblock printing.
