"Kanagawa: View of the Ridge" (神奈川 岡下) is a ukiyo-e woodblock print by the esteemed Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. It is part of his renowned series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" (東海道五十三次), which was created in the late Edo period, circa 1833-1834. This series depicts scenes from each of the fifty-three post stations, or shukuba, along the Tōkaidō, the coastal road connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto, the imperial capital.

The "Kanagawa: View of the Ridge" print captures the fifteenth station along the Tōkaidō. In this image, Hiroshige illustrates the bustling atmosphere of Kanagawa-juku, set against the backdrop of a ridge. The composition is notable for its dynamic use of perspective and the artist's skillful depiction of people from various walks of life. Travelers, porters, and locals are shown going about their daily activities, offering a glimpse into the life of the period.

Hiroshige's work is characterized by his masterful use of color and attention to detail, which bring the landscape and the human activity within it to life. The series, including this print, was produced using the traditional Japanese woodblock printing technique, which allowed for the mass production of art that was accessible to the general public. "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" was immensely popular in its time and played a significant role in shaping the genre of landscape ukiyo-e. It also had a profound influence on Western artists during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly on the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements.

"Kanagawa: View of the Ridge" is not only a valuable artistic work but also an important historical document that offers insight into the cultural and social dynamics of Japan during the Edo period. Today, Hiroshige's prints, including those from the Tōkaidō series, are held in high esteem by collectors and art enthusiasts worldwide, and they continue to be celebrated for their aesthetic beauty and historical significance.
