"Hodogaya on the Tokaido" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Hokusai, known for his iconic "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" series, captures the majestic peak in this artwork, framed by a grove of pine trees. The print depicts the bustling Tokaido Road, a vital travel route in Edo-period Japan, with travelers, a horse, and a palanquin passing through the scene. Hokusai’s dynamic composition and vibrant use of color showcase the beauty and energy of a traditional Japanese landscape.
