Utsu near Okabe is a beautiful atmospheric landscape showing travelers climbing a wooded mountain path toward a small roadside teahouse. One traveler carries a mask of Sarutahiko, the Shinto guardian of roads and journeys, while a rounded mountain emerges in the distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print comes from Hiroshige's celebrated Vertical Tōkaidō (Pictures of Famous Places on the Fifty-three Stations), published in 1855. Departing from the traditional horizontal format, Hiroshige adopted a striking vertical composition that allowed him to explore dramatic foregrounds, sweeping vistas, and atmospheric perspective. Inspired by the success of his earlier Great Tōkaidō series, these designs offer some of his most innovative interpretations of Japan's famous highway linking Edo and Kyoto.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good condition, overall color fading, some tape residue across top border.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mie Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43984498884686,"sku":"MG1846","price":345.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0095\/7602\/2094\/files\/mg1846-Hiroshige-TheRoadthroughtheIvy-japanese-woodblock-print.jpg?v=1783717968","url":"https:\/\/miegallery.com\/products\/mg1846-hiroshige-the-road-through-the-ivy-japanese-woodblock-print","provider":"Mie Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
