"A Prosperous American Merchant Building in Yokohama" is a woodblock print by Utagawa Hiroshige III, created in 1871. It depicts a Western-style building in Yokohama, a city that was opened to foreign trade in the mid-19th century. The print is a vibrant example of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that depicts everyday life, and showcases the influence of Western architecture on Japan during this period. This artwork is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.
