Hiroshige "Jûmantsubo Plain at Fukagawa Susaki" -One Hundred Famous Views of Edo-

"Jûmantsubo Plain at Fukagawa Susaki" by Utagawa Hiroshige is considered one of the most dramatic and captivating prints in his 1857 "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" series.

The large eagle in flight in the snowy sky, the snowveiled peak of Mt. Tsukuba in the distance, and the desolate view of Jûmantsubo constitute this masterly winter composition. Note the exaggerated perspective of the eagle depicted in detail in the foreground, and the snow scene looming in the background. The small pail floating on the water reflects the life of the common people.
