This woodblock print, titled "Illustrated Book -Souvenir of Edo- vol. 1(east)," was created in 1850 by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige. The print, part of a larger series, showcases the beauty of Edo (present-day Tokyo) and depicts a picturesque landscape with a sprawling river, distant mountains, and cherry blossoms in full bloom. It is a prime example of Hiroshige's masterful use of color and detail, capturing the essence of Edo's natural beauty and the tranquility of the scene.
