Kanagawa Yedo; House on River c. 19th century

"Kanagawa Yedo; House on River" is a woodblock print from the Edo period by famed Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige. The artwork depicts a picturesque scene of a village nestled along a river, with a view of boats sailing on the water. This is a fine example of Hiroshige's mastery of depicting the beauty and serenity of everyday life in Japan. The use of vibrant colors and meticulous detail creates a sense of realism and depth. This print is an excellent example of the Ukiyo-e style, which translates to "pictures of the floating world," and was popular in Edo period Japan.
