Fukuroi 1906

"Fukuroi" is a woodblock print from the "Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō Road" series, created by Utagawa Hiroshige in 1906. The artwork depicts a scene on the road, with travelers taking a rest under a large tree. Hiroshige utilizes a detailed and realistic style to capture the everyday life of the Japanese people. The print is a beautiful example of ukiyo-e, a Japanese art form that flourished during the Edo period (1603-1868). The print showcases a birdhouse on a pole, a common sight in Japan.
