11. Kiyomizu Hall and Shinobazu Pond at Ueno 1857

This woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige, titled "11. Kiyomizu Hall and Shinobazu Pond at Ueno" (1857), depicts the famous Kiyomizu Hall in Ueno Park, Tokyo, during the cherry blossom season. The artist uses vibrant colors and meticulous detail to capture the beauty of the landscape, with the pond, trees, and blossoming cherry trees creating a serene and picturesque scene. The viewer can almost feel the gentle breeze blowing through the trees, the red of the hall contrasting with the soft pink of the cherry blossoms. This piece showcases the mastery of Hiroshige, who is well-known for his landscape prints of Edo-period Japan, as well as for his masterful use of perspective and composition.
