This woodblock print, created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, is a captivating portrayal of a temple complex located on an island within a river. The scene is characterized by the artist's signature delicate line work and subtle use of color. The composition is divided into two panels, one depicting the temple complex and the other showcasing the river, with ferries carrying passengers. Hiroshige's keen eye for detail is evident in the representation of trees, buildings, and boats, contributing to the print's serene and picturesque quality. This print is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that primarily depicted everyday life and popular subjects, particularly during the Edo period (1603-1868).
