"Kirifuri Waterfall at Mount Kurokami in Shimotsuke Province" (Japanese: 下野黒髪山霧降の滝, Shimotsuke Kurokamiyama Kirifuri no taki) is a renowned woodblock print by the eminent Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created circa 1832, it is part of Hokusai's acclaimed series "A Tour of the Waterfalls of the Provinces" (Shokoku taki meguri), which includes a collection of eight landscape prints depicting various waterfalls throughout Japan. This series is one of several that Hokusai produced in the 1830s, during a period when the artist was deeply engaged in creating landscape prints.

The print portrays the Kirifuri Waterfall cascading down Mount Kurokami in the Shimotsuke province, the historical name for present-day Tochigi Prefecture. The waterfall is depicted with dynamic and powerful strokes, capturing the movement and the misty atmosphere that gives the waterfall its name; 'Kirifuri' translates to 'falling mist' in Japanese. Hokusai's use of Prussian blue, a pigment that had recently been introduced to Japan from Europe, adds a vivid and dramatic effect to the composition.

Hokusai's innovative approach to perspective and his ability to convey the natural beauty and force of the waterfall exemplify his mastery of the ukiyo-e technique. "Kirifuri Waterfall at Mount Kurokami in Shimotsuke Province" is not only a testament to Hokusai's artistic skill but also reflects the broader Japanese cultural appreciation for the beauty and spiritual significance of nature. This print, like others in the series, has been influential in the development of landscape art in Japan and has been widely admired for its aesthetic qualities and technical prowess.

As a significant work by one of Japan's most famous artists, "Kirifuri Waterfall at Mount Kurokami in Shimotsuke Province" is held in high esteem within the canon of Japanese art. It remains an important piece for scholars studying the Edo period and for enthusiasts of Hokusai's work, as well as for the general public, who continue to be captivated by its enduring beauty.
