UTAGAWA HIROSHIGE. Evening Snow at Kanbara, from the series Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido""

Evening Snow at Kanbara, from the series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido". Artist: Utagawa Hiroshige (Japanese, Tokyo (Edo) 1797-1858 Tokyo (Edo)). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: 8 7/8 x 13 3/4 in. (22.5 x 34.9 cm). Date: ca. 1833-34. Deep snow covers the slope of Kanbara in the evening. Fresh flakes falling on the houses, trees, and mountains create a quiet that is broken only by the implied crunch of travelers' footsteps in the snow. This scene is almost entirely imaginary; it rarely snows in the Kanbara area, in present-day Shizuoka Prefecture.
