About this work

Overview

Hodogaya on the Tōkaidō is a woodblock print from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, created by Katsushika Hokusai around 1831. It is a notable example of Japanese ukiyo-e art.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a serene riverside scene with people resting and riding horses under tall pine trees, with a distant mountain and buildings near the water. The composition balances activity and tranquility, with the trees framing the view.
