"Akasaka" is a woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige. The piece, created between 1840 and 1842, features a serene nighttime scene with a full moon illuminating a path through a grove of trees. The artist's signature "Hiroshige" appears in the lower right corner of the print. The scene is characteristic of Hiroshige's "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" series, capturing the tranquility and beauty of the Japanese landscape.
