"Aoi Slope, Outside Toranomon Gate" (Toranomongai Aoizaka) is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. This print is part of Hiroshige's famous series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," which was created in the mid-19th century, specifically between 1856 and 1858. The series provides a picturesque documentation of Edo (modern-day Tokyo) during the Edo period, capturing the landscapes, urban scenes, and the daily life of its inhabitants with a remarkable attention to detail and atmospheric perspective.

The "Aoi Slope, Outside Toranomon Gate" print depicts a scene from the Aoi Slope, which was located outside the Toranomon, or Tiger Gate, one of the gates leading into Edo Castle. The composition typically features travelers and locals moving along the slope, with the gate visible in the background. Hiroshige's work is noted for its use of color, perspective, and space, which convey both the physical and transient qualities of the landscape.

Hiroshige's prints, including "Aoi Slope, Outside Toranomon Gate," have had a significant influence on the development of landscape art in Japan and have also impacted Western art, particularly the Impressionist movement. His ability to capture the essence of a scene in a way that is both true to life and artistically expressive has made his work enduringly popular, both in Japan and around the world. The "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" series is considered one of Hiroshige's masterpieces and remains an important cultural artifact that offers insight into the urban and natural environments of Edo-period Japan.
