"Aoigaoka Waterfall in the Eastern Capital" (東都葵岳の滝, Tōto Aoigaoka no taki), also known as "Aoigaoka Waterfall in Edo," is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created during the Edo period, this print is part of Hokusai's acclaimed series "A Tour of the Waterfalls of the Provinces" (各州瀧廻り, Shokoku taki meguri), which was produced between 1833 and 1837. The series features a collection of eight landscape prints, each depicting a different waterfall in various regions of Japan.

The Aoigaoka Waterfall print showcases Hokusai's mastery of capturing the dynamic movement of water and his ability to integrate human figures into the grandeur of the natural landscape. In this composition, the waterfall is depicted as a powerful force of nature, with water cascading down into a serene pool below. The print is characterized by its bold lines, dramatic use of perspective, and the subtle gradations of color known as bokashi, which Hokusai employed to convey the misty atmosphere and the moisture in the air.

As with many of Hokusai's works, "Aoigaoka Waterfall in the Eastern Capital" reflects the artist's fascination with Mount Fuji, which is often included in his compositions. In this series, each waterfall scene includes a distant view of the mountain, symbolizing its enduring spiritual and cultural significance in Japan.

"Aoigaoka Waterfall in the Eastern Capital" is not only a testament to Hokusai's skill as a printmaker but also an important example of the themes of travel and the appreciation of natural beauty in the Edo period. The series to which it belongs is considered one of the pinnacles of Hokusai's artistic achievement and contributes to his lasting legacy in the world of Japanese art and beyond. Today, Hokusai's waterfall prints are highly regarded for their aesthetic qualities and are studied for their influence on both Eastern and Western art, particularly on the Impressionist movement.
