"Yui" is a woodblock print created by Utagawa Hiroshige around 1832-1833, depicting the iconic Mount Fuji in the distance, as seen from the Yui Pass. This landscape print, a classic example of the ukiyo-e genre, showcases Hiroshige's mastery of perspective and his ability to capture the serene beauty of nature. The print is composed of rich colors, particularly the blue of the sea and the white of Mount Fuji, and features a strong sense of depth created by the foreground cliffs and the distant mountains. "Yui" is a popular and recognizable piece, cherished by art lovers for its breathtaking depiction of the natural world.
