"Kanagawa" is a woodblock print from Utagawa Hiroshige's *Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō* series, created in 1833. It showcases the vibrant colors and detailed landscapes characteristic of *ukiyo-e* art. The print depicts the coastal town of Kanagawa, known for its bustling port, with ships sailing in the harbor and figures going about their daily lives. The composition balances the tranquility of the sea with the liveliness of the town, offering a glimpse into Edo-era Japan.
