Arashiyama in volle bloei 1833 - 1837

"Arashiyama in volle bloei" (Arashiyama in full bloom) is a woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige (I) from 1833-1837. It features a picturesque view of the Arashiyama district in Kyoto, Japan, known for its beautiful bamboo groves and cherry blossoms. The print showcases the vibrant colors and meticulous detail characteristic of Hiroshige's ukiyo-e style. The composition highlights the contrast between the natural beauty of the blooming cherry trees and the human activity on the river below. This print, now at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Hiroshige's masterful depiction of Japanese landscapes and the fleeting beauty of nature.
