This woodblock print, created by Katsushika Hokusai between 1830 and 1834, depicts the Oyama Waterfall in Sagami Province. Known for his dynamic compositions and vibrant use of color, Hokusai captures the waterfall's power as it cascades down the rocky cliffside. The print also showcases bathers enjoying the waterfall's rejuvenating waters, a popular activity in Japan. This work, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Hokusai's mastery of ukiyo-e, a genre depicting everyday life and natural beauty, and remains a celebrated example of Japanese art.
