"Catching Fish by Moonlight on the Tama River" is a renowned woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. It is one of the prints from the series "Setsugekka no uchi" (雪月花之内), which translates to "Snow, Moon, and Flowers." This series, created in the mid-19th century, epitomizes the Japanese aesthetic of celebrating the beauty of nature across different seasons and times of day.

The print depicts a tranquil scene along the Tama River, with figures engaging in nocturnal fishing under the soft glow of the moon. The composition masterfully balances the interplay of light and shadow, creating a serene and poetic atmosphere that invites contemplation. Hiroshige's skillful use of bokashi, a gradient printing technique, enhances the luminosity of the moon and its reflection on the water, giving the scene a sense of depth and realism.

As part of the "Snow, Moon, and Flowers" series, "Catching Fish by Moonlight on the Tama River" represents the theme of the moon (tsuki), with other prints in the series depicting snow (yuki) and flowers (hana), respectively. These themes are traditional motifs in Japanese art and poetry, often associated with specific months or seasons, and Hiroshige's interpretation is celebrated for its evocative portrayal of the Japanese landscape and the changing seasons.

Hiroshige's work is highly regarded for its influence on the development of the ukiyo-e genre and its impact on Western artists during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly the Impressionists. "Catching Fish by Moonlight on the Tama River" is a quintessential example of Hiroshige's artistry, capturing the transient beauty of nature with a sense of tranquility and poetic grace. The print remains an important work within Hiroshige's oeuvre and continues to be admired for its aesthetic qualities and cultural significance.
