Evening Snow on the Asuka Mountain 1841

"Evening Snow on the Asuka Mountain" (1841) is a woodblock print by famed Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige. It depicts a snowy scene in the evening with a group of figures travelling through a landscape of snow-covered trees and a mountainside. This piece is a fine example of Hiroshige's "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" series, which focused on iconic locations in and around the city of Edo (modern Tokyo). The print's delicate brushstrokes capture the serene atmosphere of the snow-covered landscape, and its rich colors create a sense of tranquility and beauty.
