"Yui" is a woodblock print from the series *One Hundred Famous Views of Edo* by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige. Completed in 1832-1833, the print depicts a captivating scene of Mount Fuji, a prominent landmark in Japanese culture, as seen from Yui in the Suruga Province. The print showcases Hiroshige's mastery of woodblock printing, with meticulous detail in capturing the landscape, from the flowing lines of the trees and the subtle shades of the sky to the distant mountain range and the small boats sailing on the water. The use of vivid colors, particularly the pink hues of the sunset, creates a sense of serenity and beauty. This print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic genius and his ability to portray the beauty of the Japanese landscape.
