"Seto Shugetsu" (Autumn Moon, Seto) is a distinguished woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. This piece is part of Hiroshige's illustrious "Eight Views of Omi" series, which interprets traditional Chinese themes within the context of Japanese landscapes. Created in the mid-19th century, during the Edo period, Hiroshige's work is celebrated for its poetic integration of nature and human activity, encapsulating the transient beauty of the seasons.

The "Seto Shugetsu" specifically captures the serene beauty of an autumn moon over Seto, a reference to Lake Biwa in the Omi Province, now Shiga Prefecture. This area was famed for its scenic beauty and had been a subject of literary and artistic inspiration for centuries. Hiroshige's rendition is particularly noted for its subtle use of color and masterful composition, which evoke a sense of tranquility and the ephemeral nature of autumn. The print showcases Hiroshige's skill in depicting light and atmosphere, with the moon's reflection on the water and the delicate gradations of the sky at dusk being of particular note.

As part of Hiroshige's broader oeuvre, "Seto Shugetsu" reflects the artist's fascination with the changing seasons and their impact on the Japanese landscape. Hiroshige's works have had a profound influence on the development of landscape art in Japan and have also garnered significant appreciation in the West, influencing the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements. "Seto Shugetsu" remains a testament to Hiroshige's enduring legacy as a master of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese woodblock prints and paintings that flourished during the Edo period.
