Tsuchiyama- View of the Suzuka Mountains c. 1840 - 1842

"Tsuchiyama- View of the Suzuka Mountains" is a woodblock print from the *Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido* series by renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige. The print, created between 1840 and 1842, depicts a mountain pass with a group of travelers walking on a path. Hiroshige uses vibrant colors and intricate detail to capture the beauty of the landscape. The rain falling from the sky and the misty mountain peaks create a sense of tranquility and serenity. The *ukiyo-e* print style, which focuses on everyday life and scenery, makes this artwork accessible to all audiences. The use of strong diagonals and bold lines highlights the dramatic scenery of the mountain range, while the small figures in the foreground give the viewer a sense of scale.
