Good conditions. SEE: https://ja.ukiyo-e.org/image/artelino/11381g1 Description: This woodblock print, Hoda Coast, is from Utagawa Hiroshige’s celebrated series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. The composition captures the dramatic contrast between crashing coastal waves in the foreground and the distant, serene silhouette of Mount Fuji across the water. Travelers pause along a rocky cliff path, emphasizing human fragility against the vast forces of nature. Hiroshige’s refined color gradation and rhythmic wave patterns convey movement and atmosphere, while the expansive sky lends quiet balance. The scene reflects Edo-period sensibilities, blending poetic landscape observation with everyday coastal life in Japan. Author: Utagawa Hiroshige 歌川 広重 (1797 – 12 October 1858), was a Japanese Ukiyo-e artist, considered the last great master of that tradition. Hiroshige is best known for his horizontal-format landscape series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō and for his vertical-format landscape series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. The subjects of his work were atypical of the ukiyo-e genre, whose typical focus was on beautiful women, popular actors, and other scenes of the urban pleasure districts of Japan's Edo period (1603–1868). Kodama Matashichi was a Meiji-period ukiyo-e publisher based in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. He is known for producing works by artists such as Yamazaki Toshinobu, Yōshū Chikanobu, and Kobayashi Kiyochika. Kodama’s publications include landscapes, beauty prints, and war triptychs, notable for their refined printing and delicate color gradations. His collaborations with Toshinobu on the Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji exemplify the high craftsmanship and transitional aesthetic between traditional ukiyo-e and the emerging Meiji modern style.
