"Sumida River" (Sumida-gawa in Japanese) is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created during the Edo period, this artwork is part of Hokusai's extensive body of work that captures the beauty and daily life of Japan through landscape and nature scenes. The Sumida River, which flows through Tokyo, has been a popular subject in Japanese art and literature, symbolizing both the physical and spiritual aspects of life in the city.

Hokusai's depiction of the Sumida River is characterized by his signature use of bold lines, attention to detail, and a masterful use of color that reflects the changing seasons and the passage of time. The print may belong to one of Hokusai's series that celebrate the famous places in and around Edo (modern-day Tokyo), such as the "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" or "One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji," where the river and its surroundings serve as a recurring motif to highlight the majestic presence of the mountain in Japan's cultural and physical landscape.

In "Sumida River," Hokusai captures the interplay between humans and nature, with figures often seen engaging in daily activities by the riverbanks, set against the backdrop of the waterway and the broader environment. The artwork reflects the artist's fascination with the transient and the eternal, a theme that permeates much of his work.

As with many of Hokusai's prints, "Sumida River" would have been produced through a collaborative process involving skilled carvers and printers working under the artist's direction. The print's historical and cultural significance, along with its aesthetic appeal, make it an important piece in the study of ukiyo-e and Japanese art history.

Hokusai's work has had a profound influence on the development of Japanese art and has also impacted Western art, particularly during the Japonisme movement in the 19th century. "Sumida River," with its evocative portrayal of one of Tokyo's most significant waterways, remains an enduring testament to Hokusai's legacy as one of Japan's greatest artists.
