On the Yoshida Highway c. 1685

"On the Yoshida Highway" is a woodblock print created by Sugimura Jihei, a Japanese artist who lived during the Edo period (1603–1868). The print depicts four figures in a landscape setting, showcasing the vibrant colors and detailed patterns that are characteristic of the ukiyo-e style. The composition features a couple in the foreground, a woman in the upper left corner, and a man in the upper right corner. The intricate details of the figures' clothing and the surrounding landscape are beautifully rendered. The print is a fine example of the artistic sophistication and cultural influence of Japanese woodblock prints during the Edo period.
