"The Waterfall Where Yoshitsune Washed His Horse, Yoshino, Yamato Province" 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 Waterfalls in Various Provinces" (Shokoku taki meguri), which was produced between 1832 and 1833. The series comprises eight prints, each depicting a different waterfall scene from across the provinces of Japan.

This particular print illustrates a legendary episode from the life of Minamoto no Yoshitsune, a famous military commander of the late Heian period, who is said to have washed his horse in the waters of the Yoshino River. The waterfall, located in the historic province of Yamato (present-day Nara Prefecture), is rendered with dynamic lines and a powerful sense of motion, capturing the energy and grandeur of the cascading water.

Hokusai's mastery of composition and his ability to convey the force of nature are evident in this work. The print features the contrast between the soft, misty spray of the waterfall and the solid, detailed rendering of the rocks and surrounding landscape. The human and equine figures are small in scale, emphasizing the overwhelming presence of the natural world.

As with other prints in the series, Hokusai employs the technique of aizuri-e, using shades of blue to create a monochromatic effect that was both innovative and striking for the time. "The Waterfall Where Yoshitsune Washed His Horse, Yoshino, Yamato Province" is not only a fine example of Hokusai's landscape prints but also a reflection of the Japanese cultural interest in historical legends and the beauty of the country's natural environment. It remains an important work within Hokusai's oeuvre and a testament to the enduring appeal of ukiyo-e art.
