"Fishermen Netting Sole in Wakasa Province" (若狭の海苫) is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. It is part of the series "Famous Places of the Sixty Provinces" (六十余州名所図会, Rokujūyoshū Meisho Zue), which consists of a collection of landscape prints depicting various provinces of Japan. Created in the late Edo period, specifically in 1853, this series showcases Hiroshige's mature style and his continued exploration of landscape as a subject matter.

The print illustrates a coastal scene in Wakasa Province, present-day Fukui Prefecture, where fishermen are depicted in the act of netting sole, a type of flatfish highly valued for its culinary qualities. The composition is notable for its dynamic representation of the fishermen's activity, set against the backdrop of the sea and sky. Hiroshige's use of perspective and color demonstrates his skill in capturing the essence of the location and the livelihood of its inhabitants.

As with many of Hiroshige's works, "Fishermen Netting Sole in Wakasa Province" reflects the artist's interest in the interplay between humans and their environment, as well as his ability to convey the beauty of Japan's diverse landscapes. The print is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical value, providing insight into the regional practices and scenery of the time.

Hiroshige's "Famous Places of the Sixty Provinces" series was well-received and contributed to the artist's lasting reputation. "Fishermen Netting Sole in Wakasa Province" remains an important example of Hiroshige's landscape prints and is studied for its technique and place within the context of ukiyo-e and Japanese art history.
