"Kisoji no oku" (奥木曽路) by Katsushika Hokusai is a renowned woodblock print from the esteemed Japanese ukiyo-e artist's series "A Tour of the Waterfalls of the Provinces" (各州瀧廻り), created circa 1832. This series, which includes a total of eight prints, depicts various waterfalls throughout Japan, each accompanied by travelers or local inhabitants, showcasing the interplay between human activity and the majesty of nature.

The "Kisoji no oku" print specifically portrays the Yoro Waterfall in Mino Province, which is now part of modern-day Gifu Prefecture. The waterfall is depicted with a dynamic sense of movement, a characteristic feature of Hokusai's work. The composition captures the raw power and beauty of the cascading water, framed by the rugged landscape of the Kiso Valley. The print is noted for its intricate detail and the use of Prussian blue, a pigment that had only recently been introduced to Japan and which Hokusai employed to great effect in his prints.

As part of Hokusai's broader body of work, "Kisoji no oku" exemplifies the artist's fascination with the natural world and his ability to convey its transient beauty. Hokusai's innovative techniques and unique perspective contributed to the international recognition of ukiyo-e and influenced the development of Western art, particularly Impressionism.

Katsushika Hokusai (葛飾 北斎, 1760–1849) is best known for his iconic print "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" and the series "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji," which have become emblematic of Japanese art. His work is celebrated for its expressive line work, attention to detail, and the use of color, which have cemented his legacy as one of the most prominent figures in the history of Japanese art.
