六十余州名所図会 対馬 海岸夕晴|Tsushima Kaigan Yubare

Created through traditional Japanese woodblock printing, the work combines line work in ink with layered color washes. Hiroshige’s handling of atmospheric perspective—fading hills receding into distant mountains—exemplifies his approach to rendering depth and weather effects in ukiyo‑e landscapes.

Produced during the Edo period as part of Hiroshige’s *Sixth Collection of Views of Provinces*, the print later entered the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where it remains on display as an example of 19th‑century Japanese printmaking.

The image reflects the broader ukiyo‑e interest in travel and regional scenery that flourished in the mid‑1800s. Tsushima, situated between Japan and Korea, was a frequent subject for artists documenting Japan’s coastal geography and maritime culture.
