"Kambara: Night Snow (Kambara, yoru no yuki), from the series Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō Road (Tōkaidō gojūsan tsugi no uchi)" is a renowned woodblock print created by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige (also known as Andō Hiroshige). It is the 16th print in Hiroshige's famous series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō," which was produced in the late Edo period, around the 1830s. This series depicts scenes from along the Tōkaidō, the coastal road connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto, the imperial capital.

The print "Kambara: Night Snow" is particularly famous for its atmospheric depiction of a snowy evening in the post-station village of Kambara. Unlike many of the other prints in the series, which are based on Hiroshige's actual travels and observations, this image is believed to be a product of the artist's imagination, as historical records suggest that Kambara did not experience heavy snowfall.

In this evocative scene, Hiroshige uses a limited color palette to convey the quiet and chilly essence of a snow-covered landscape at night. The composition features travelers making their way through the accumulating snow, with one figure bending against the wind, another carrying a heavy load, and a third sheltering under a straw hat. The village houses, blanketed in snow, fade into the background, creating a sense of depth and stillness.

Hiroshige's masterful use of negative space and subtle gradations of ink, a technique known as bokashi, results in a print that is both simple and sophisticated, capturing the essence of the Japanese winter landscape. "Kambara: Night Snow" is celebrated for its beauty and is one of the most admired prints in Hiroshige's oeuvre, reflecting the artist's skill in portraying the varied climates and moods of the different stations along the Tōkaidō.

The "Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" series was immensely popular in its time and remains a significant work in the history of Japanese art. Hiroshige's prints have influenced not only the development of ukiyo-e but also Western artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, contributing to the Japonisme movement. "Kambara: Night Snow" continues to be a highly sought-after image for its iconic representation of the Japanese winter and is a testament to Hiroshige's enduring legacy as a master of the ukiyo-e genre.
