"Mandarin Ducks and Waterplant" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Created during the Edo period, this artwork is part of Hiroshige's extensive oeuvre, which includes landscapes, flora, and fauna, reflecting the artist's profound appreciation for nature's beauty. The print depicts a pair of mandarin ducks (Aix galericulata) amidst aquatic plants, a subject that resonates with the traditional East Asian symbolism of fidelity and conjugal affection, as these ducks are known for forming strong pair bonds.

Hiroshige's work is characterized by his masterful use of color and composition, which is evident in "Mandarin Ducks and Waterplant." The print showcases his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with a delicate and poetic touch. The ducks are rendered with attention to detail and are set against a simplified background that emphasizes their elegance and the serenity of their environment.

As a part of the Edo period's cultural landscape, Hiroshige's art contributed to the popularization of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that flourished between the 17th and 19th centuries. His prints, including "Mandarin Ducks and Waterplant," were not only appreciated in Japan but also had a significant impact on Western art, particularly on the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements.

"Mandarin Ducks and Waterplant" exemplifies Hiroshige's skill in creating harmonious and evocative scenes that invite the viewer to contemplate the natural world. The artwork remains an important piece within Hiroshige's body of work and continues to be admired for its aesthetic qualities and cultural significance.
