"View of the Fudesute Mountain in Sakanoshita" is a woodblock print from the *One Hundred Famous Views of Edo* series by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige. Created around 1840-1842, the print depicts a sweeping mountain landscape with a winding path leading to the summit. The use of muted blue and grey tones, characteristic of Hiroshige's later works, create a sense of tranquility and solitude. The small figures in the foreground add a sense of scale and human interaction with the vast natural world. This iconic series, completed between 1830-1856, captured the beauty of Edo (present-day Tokyo) and its surrounding areas, contributing significantly to Hiroshige's reputation as a master of landscape art.
