This woodblock print, "No. (sic)," is a classic example of the work of Utagawa Hiroshige, one of the most celebrated masters of the ukiyo-e style of Japanese art. Created around 1835-38, the print depicts a scene of daily life in Edo (modern-day Tokyo), showcasing the distinctive blue and white colors of the Edo period. The composition is balanced between the figures in the foreground and the distant landscape. The brushstrokes are precise and delicate, capturing the details of the figures, the trees, and the winding rivers, resulting in a harmonious composition. The image is likely from a series depicting the landscapes and sights of Edo, and is an excellent example of Hiroshige's ability to portray the beauty of his environment.
