Numazu- Twilight Picture c. 1832 - 1833

"Numazu - Twilight Picture" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige. Created between 1832 and 1833, the print depicts a serene moonlit scene of a waterway flowing through a rural Japanese landscape. The composition is defined by a sense of depth created through the receding lines of trees and the meandering river. The full moon, high in the night sky, casts a soft glow on the scene, highlighting the delicate brushstrokes and subtle color palette typical of Hiroshige's style. This print is a prime example of the "ukiyo-e" genre, depicting everyday life in the Edo period.
