Riverbank at Sukiya in the Eastern Capital Possibly 1858

"Riverbank at Sukiya in the Eastern Capital" is a woodblock print created by renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige. Possibly dating back to 1858, the print depicts a picturesque scene of a snow-covered riverbank, with boats docked and figures going about their daily lives. The distant mountain, likely Mount Fuji, adds a majestic touch to the composition. This piece showcases Hiroshige's mastery of woodblock printing, particularly his use of subtle colors and delicate lines to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. His "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" series, of which this print is a part, remains a celebrated collection of Japanese art, capturing the beauty and tranquility of Edo-era landscapes.
