From the collection of Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
Mt. Fuji and Mt. Ashigara from Numazu from the series Vertical Tokaido (or "Famous Places of the Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō") is a 1837 unspecified by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Ukiyo-e work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
This painting shows a serene winter landscape. In the foreground, a snow-covered hill slopes down to a small stream, where a figure in a yellow kimono walks along the bank. The stream winds its way through the snow, past a few trees and a small bridge. In the background, a majestic mountain rises into the sky, its peak shrouded in mist. The painting's use of soft colors and gentle lines creates a sense of calm and tranquility. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the way the snow is depicted, with delicate brushstrokes suggesting the texture and depth of the drifts.
