Sumidagawa Koharunagi, also known as "Sumida River in the Late Autumn," is a notable woodblock print created by the Japanese artist Kobayashi Kiyochika. Kiyochika, born in 1847 and active during the Meiji period, is renowned for his innovative approach to ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through the 19th centuries. His works often reflect the rapid modernization and Western influence that characterized Japan during the late 19th century.

Kiyochika's Sumidagawa Koharunagi captures a serene and evocative scene along the Sumida River, a historically significant waterway in Tokyo. The print is celebrated for its atmospheric quality, achieved through Kiyochika's masterful use of light and shadow, a technique influenced by Western art forms such as photography and lithography. This particular work is part of a larger series that depicts various scenes around Tokyo, showcasing the city's transformation during the Meiji era.

The composition of Sumidagawa Koharunagi is marked by its delicate balance between traditional Japanese aesthetics and modern elements. The print features a tranquil river landscape enveloped in the soft, diffused light of late autumn. The subtle gradations of color and the meticulous attention to detail in the depiction of natural elements, such as the foliage and water, highlight Kiyochika's skill and his ability to evoke a sense of quiet introspection.

Kiyochika's work, including Sumidagawa Koharunagi, is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context. It provides a visual record of a pivotal time in Japan's history, reflecting the cultural and societal shifts of the Meiji Restoration. Today, Kiyochika's prints are highly regarded by collectors and scholars alike, appreciated for their unique blend of tradition and modernity, as well as their contribution to the evolution of Japanese printmaking.
