Hakone, 10th Station of the Tokaido 1834

This woodblock print, titled "Hakone, 10th Station of the Tokaido" by Utagawa Hiroshige, was created in 1834. It's a stunning example of ukiyo-e, the art form that captured the beauty of everyday life in Japan during the Edo period. The print shows a dramatic mountain landscape with a winding path leading to the Hakone Pass, a popular travel destination during this time. The scene is dominated by towering mountains, with Mt. Fuji visible in the distance. Hiroshige’s signature vibrant colors and meticulous detail bring the beauty of the Hakone landscape to life.
