"Morning Mist at Mishima" is a distinguished ukiyo-e woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. This piece is part of Hiroshige's acclaimed series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō," which was first published in the early 1830s. The series depicts the fifty-three post stations (or stops) along the Tōkaidō, the vital coastal road connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto, the ancient imperial capital of Japan. Hiroshige's series, celebrated for its innovative composition, masterful use of color, and depiction of the Japanese landscape, played a significant role in shaping the Western perception of Japan during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

"Morning Mist at Mishima" specifically captures the post station of Mishima, the eleventh of the fifty-three stations along the Tōkaidō. The print is characterized by its atmospheric quality, showcasing the misty morning landscape of Mishima. Hiroshige's skillful use of gradation and silhouette effectively conveys the cool, damp air of an early morning, with the mist partially obscuring the mountains in the background and lending an ethereal quality to the scene. The composition cleverly guides the viewer's eye along the path leading into the village, inviting them into the tranquil, mist-covered landscape.

Hiroshige's work on the Tōkaidō series, including "Morning Mist at Mishima," was groundbreaking in its approach to landscape art. He moved away from the traditional focus on famous sites and historical events, instead choosing to depict the everyday life and natural beauty of the Japanese countryside. This shift not only marked a significant development in the genre of ukiyo-e but also contributed to the evolution of landscape art in Japan.

"Morning Mist at Mishima" and the entire Tōkaidō series were met with great acclaim, both in Japan and internationally. Hiroshige's innovative compositions, along with his delicate and expressive use of color, have made his works highly sought after by collectors and art enthusiasts. Today, "Morning Mist at Mishima" remains a testament to Hiroshige's enduring legacy as one of the greatest masters of Japanese woodblock printing.
