Kameyama 1855

"Kameyama" is a woodblock print from Utagawa Hiroshige's "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" series, created in 1855. The print depicts a view of the Kameyama area in Edo, now Tokyo, featuring a path winding through a forested hillside with figures walking under a heavy downpour. The rain is depicted in a striking manner, falling in straight lines that accentuate the depth of the scene and the mood of tranquility in the face of nature's power. Hiroshige is known for his precise and detailed depictions of landscapes and his ability to capture the beauty of the natural world, and "Kameyama" is a fine example of this artistic style.
