Wedding Procession c. 19th century

This woodblock print, "Wedding Procession," is a classic example of the ukiyo-e style, created by renowned artist Utagawa Hiroshige in the 19th century. The print depicts a procession of figures traveling through a mountainous landscape, likely a wedding party making their way to a new home. The composition features a vibrant use of color, particularly in the autumn leaves adorning the tree, and the figures’ clothing. This work exemplifies Hiroshige's mastery of portraying everyday life and landscape in his art, a key characteristic of the ukiyo-e tradition.
