The breathtaking woodblock print "Kai Otsuki no Hara” (Otsuki Plain in Kai Province) is by Hiroshige Utagawa (1797-1858). It is from the series Fuji Sanjū-Rokkei (Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji). This work contrasts Mt. Fuji rising above the Misaka mountain range with the Otsuki Plain that spreads out before it, depicting a field of Japanese pampas grass with wild chrysanthemums, bellflowers, and other beautifully colored flowers, creating a style that even exudes a sense of gaiety. It is one of the representative works of this series, with its predominant use of bright colors. Published by Adachi Publisher.
