Tago Bay at Ejiri on the Tōkaidō c. 1834 - 1837

"Tago Bay at Ejiri on the Tōkaidō" is a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Hokumyō, created between 1834 and 1837. The print depicts a scene of boats navigating the choppy waters of Tago Bay, with Mount Fuji looming in the background. The artist's use of bold lines and vibrant colors evokes a sense of dynamism and energy, characteristic of the ukiyo-e style. This yatsugiriban print, a smaller format compared to traditional ukiyo-e prints, showcases Hokumyō's talent in capturing the beauty and grandeur of Japan's natural landscapes. This artwork can be found at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
