Miya 1906

"Miya" is a woodblock print by the famous Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige I, dating back to 1906. It's part of the "Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō Road" series, a collection of woodblock prints depicting scenes from the major travel route between Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto. This print showcases a bustling scene of travelers running through a torii gate, with a horse-drawn carriage leading the way, capturing the dynamism of life on the road. The use of vivid colours and delicate lines is typical of Hiroshige's style, highlighting the artist's mastery in capturing fleeting moments and portraying the beauty of Japan's landscape.
