“Yugasan in Bizan Province,” an artwork created by Hiroshige in 1858, belongs to the Ukiyo-e art movement. This landscape piece, measuring 24.4 x 36.2 cm, is housed at the Brooklyn Museum in New York City, NY, USA.
The artwork portrays a serene winter landscape, featuring a snow-covered mountainous region. The depiction illustrates a tranquil night scene where snowflakes delicately fall from the sky, blanketing the mountain peaks, trees, and rooftops of scattered dwellings. The scene is intricately detailed, with a contrast between the dark sky and the luminous snowy terrain, highlighting Hiroshige’s masterful use of color and composition to convey the peaceful and reflective mood of the winter night.
