Okitsu c. 1832 - 1833

"Okitsu" is a woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, created between 1832 and 1833. This ukiyo-e work depicts a scene of travelers crossing a shallow river in Okitsu, a coastal town known for its scenic beauty. Hiroshige captures the serenity of the moment, with the gentle river winding through a landscape of rocky cliffs and pine trees. The warm hues of the sky and the detailed rendering of the figures and their surroundings create a sense of tranquility and visual richness. The print is a classic example of Hiroshige's mastery of landscape and atmospheric perspective.
