Utagawa Hiroshige's 'Fishing by Torchlight in Kai Province' is a woodblock print from the 'Oceans of Wisdom' series. This ukiyo-e artwork depicts a tranquil nocturnal scene of figures fishing in a river, showcasing Hiroshige's mastery of landscape and atmosphere.
This woodblock print, titled 'Fishing by Torchlight in Kai Province', is from the series 'Oceans of Wisdom' by Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858). Hiroshige was a master of the ukiyo-e style, a genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries. He is best known for his depictions of landscapes and scenes of everyday life. His work had a marked influence on European artists, particularly the Impressionists. The print depicts a group of figures engaged in night fishing. They stand in a shallow river, illuminated by the glow of torches. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and a dark, star-filled sky. The composition is carefully balanced, with the figures and their reflections creating a sense of depth and movement. Hiroshige's use of colour is subtle, with muted tones of blue, green, and yellow creating a tranquil, nocturnal atmosphere. The print exemplifies Hiroshige's skill in capturing the beauty and atmosphere of the Japanese countryside.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
