Hara c. 1840 - 1842

"Hara" is a woodblock print from the "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" series by renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige. This striking piece, created between 1840 and 1842, captures a panoramic view of Mount Fuji, a symbol of Japan, rising majestically above a serene landscape. The use of vibrant colors and delicate lines creates a sense of depth and tranquility, showcasing Hiroshige's mastery of the ukiyo-e style. The print, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers a glimpse into the artistic and cultural landscape of Edo-period Japan.
