This woodblock print, titled "47," is a vibrant example of the work of famed Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige. Created between 1855 and 1857, this print depicts a rainy scene in the landscape of Japan, possibly near a mountain pass, with figures traversing a winding path. The use of strong color contrasts and precise lines, characteristic of the ukiyo-e style, creates a vivid and atmospheric depiction of the scene. This print, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers viewers a glimpse into the beauty of Japanese landscapes during the Edo period.
