"Awa Naruto no Fukei" (阿波鳴門之風景), also known as "The Whirlpools of Awa," is a renowned woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Created in the 19th century, this print is part of Hiroshige's famous series "Rokujūyoshū Meisho Zue" (Famous Views of the Sixty-odd Provinces), which comprises a collection of landscapes representing each of the provinces of Japan.

The print depicts the natural phenomenon of the whirlpools in the Naruto Strait, a channel between Awaji Island and Shikoku in Japan. These whirlpools are known for their size and the speed with which they occur, making them a popular subject in Japanese art and literature. Hiroshige's work captures the dynamic movement of the swirling waters, along with the boats that navigate the treacherous currents, providing a glimpse into the challenges faced by travelers and fishermen.

Hiroshige's use of composition and color in "Awa Naruto no Fukei" reflects his mastery of the ukiyo-e technique, with the whirlpools rendered in intricate detail that conveys their power and the peril they pose. The print is characterized by its dramatic contrast between the calm skies and the tumultuous waters below, a testament to Hiroshige's ability to evoke emotion through landscape depiction.

As a part of Hiroshige's broader series, "Awa Naruto no Fukei" is not only a significant work of art in its own right but also contributes to the collective cultural heritage of Japan, offering insight into the country's geography and the Edo period's artistic traditions. The print remains a subject of admiration for its aesthetic qualities and is a valuable piece for collectors and scholars of Japanese art history.
