Good conditions.

The composition looks down into a deep mountain gorge, where a winding river cuts through steep cliffs, emphasizing dramatic depth and perspective. Travelers traverse narrow paths along the slopes, their small figures highlighting the scale and isolation of the landscape. Mount Fuji rises quietly in the distance beneath a pale sky crossed by birds, offering calm contrast to the rugged terrain below. The scene reflects Hiroshige’s mastery of atmosphere, seasonal color, and poetic landscape observation. 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.
