Lake Suwa from Shiojiri Pass 1825 - 1845

Keisai Eisen's "Lake Suwa from Shiojiri Pass" is a woodblock print, depicting the scenic landscape of Lake Suwa, Japan. The print, created between 1825 and 1845, showcases Mount Fuji in the distance, surrounded by a mountainous backdrop. The foreground depicts a winding pathway leading up a hillside, with travelers and pack animals traversing the route. The vivid colors and detailed brushstrokes, characteristic of ukiyo-e, create a sense of depth and vibrancy, capturing the beauty of the natural world and the dynamism of daily life in Edo period Japan.
