"Kanagawa" is a woodblock print from the *One Hundred Famous Views of Edo* series created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige in 1855. It depicts a serene scene of a bay with ships sailing under a full moon, viewed from a vantage point atop a hill. The composition, with its focus on the peaceful water and distant coastline, exemplifies the *ukiyo-e* style of Japanese woodblock printing, known for its depictions of everyday life and landscapes. The print is characterized by the use of bright colors, intricate details, and a sense of tranquility, which has made it a popular and enduring work of Japanese art.
