"Oban Yoko-e de la Serie Sankai Mitatesumo, Mer et Montagnes" is a notable work by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist commonly known as Hiroshige III. Born as Gotō Torakichi (1842–1894), Hiroshige III was a pupil and adopted son of the famed Hiroshige II, who in turn was the successor to the great master Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Hiroshige I. The title of the work can be translated as "Grand Prints of Mountains and Seas, a Sumo Match of Landscapes," and it is a part of a series that showcases the artist's skill in landscape art, a genre that his lineage is particularly renowned for.

The term "Oban Yoko-e" refers to the size and orientation of the print; 'oban' is a standard size of Japanese woodblock print, while 'yoko-e' indicates a horizontal layout. This format is particularly suited to expansive landscape scenes. The series title "Sankai Mitatesumo" suggests a thematic play on the traditional sumo wrestling match, with the landscapes themselves competing in grandeur and beauty, much like sumo wrestlers in a bout.

Hiroshige III's work is characterized by a continuation of the Utagawa school's style, with a particular focus on the everyday life of people and the natural beauty of Japan's landscapes. "Mer et Montagnes" reflects this focus, likely depicting a scenic interplay between the sea and the mountains, which are recurring subjects in Japanese woodblock prints and are often imbued with cultural and spiritual significance.

As an artist, Hiroshige III came into prominence during the Meiji period, a time of rapid modernization and Western influence in Japan. His works often reflect this transition, with traditional Japanese themes intermingled with elements of modernity. "Oban Yoko-e de la Serie Sankai Mitatesumo, Mer et Montagnes" is a testament to this transitional period in Japanese art, capturing the enduring beauty of the natural landscape amidst the changing tides of cultural and societal transformation.

The print is a valuable piece for collectors and scholars interested in the late Edo and early Meiji periods of Japanese art, offering insight into the evolution of the ukiyo-e tradition and the artistic legacy passed down from Hiroshige I through his successors.
