Ho_rai-ji Temple Possibly 1853 - 1858

This woodblock print, titled "Ho_rai-ji Temple," was created by renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige between 1853 and 1858. The vertical ōban print showcases Hiroshige’s signature use of vibrant colors and detailed brushstrokes to depict the serene beauty of Ho_rai-ji Temple nestled within the lush mountainside. The cascading waterfall and winding path leading to the temple create a sense of tranquility and spirituality, making it a compelling example of the ukiyo-e genre's focus on capturing the natural world.
