"Yokkaichi--Mie River" (c. 1832 - 1833) is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige. This work is a stunning example of the *ukiyo-e* style, depicting the serene landscape of Yokkaichi in Mie Prefecture, Japan. The print is noted for its atmospheric depiction of a gentle breeze, swaying the willow tree and rippling the water. Hiroshige masterfully utilizes a soft palette of blues, greens, and pinks to create a calming and tranquil scene. This print is a beautiful testament to the artistic mastery of Hiroshige, showcasing the beauty of Japan's natural landscapes.
