Utagawa Hiroshige's "Waterfall River at Ōji" is a woodblock print, *ukiyo-e,* from his *Famous Places of Edo* series. The scene depicts the river at Ōji, a popular recreational area in Edo (present-day Tokyo). The print vividly captures the idyllic scenery, with verdant hills, a rushing waterfall, and people enjoying a swim in the cool waters. Hiroshige, a master of landscape art, utilizes rich hues and delicate lines to create a sense of tranquility and depth, capturing the essence of this beloved location.
