"The Shore at Sumiyoshi showing the Village and Lighthouse, Settsu Province" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. It is part of his influential series "Famous Places of the Sixty Provinces," which was created between 1853 and 1856. This series comprises a collection of landscape prints, each depicting a scene from one of the sixty-odd provinces of Japan, as they were known during the Edo period.

The print of Sumiyoshi, a coastal area in Settsu Province (present-day Osaka Prefecture), captures the serene beauty of the shoreline with its expansive view of the sea, the village, and the lighthouse. Hiroshige's masterful use of perspective and composition draws the viewer's eye across the water to the distant lighthouse, a symbol of guidance and safety for seafarers. The village is depicted with a sense of tranquil daily life, nestled by the sea and framed by pine trees, which were often associated with the Shinto deity of the sea and seafarers, Sumiyoshi Sanjin.

Hiroshige's work is characterized by his poetic approach to landscape, capturing the essence of each location with a blend of realism and romanticism. "The Shore at Sumiyoshi" is no exception, as it conveys the unique atmosphere of the coastal region with a delicate balance of human activity and natural beauty. The print is a fine example of Hiroshige's skill in using the traditional Japanese woodblock printing technique to create evocative and enduring images of Japan's varied landscapes.

As part of "Famous Places of the Sixty Provinces," this print reflects Hiroshige's continued interest in travel and the celebration of the Japanese countryside during a time of increasing mobility and tourism within Japan. The series was well-received and contributed to Hiroshige's lasting legacy as one of the last great masters of the ukiyo-e genre. "The Shore at Sumiyoshi" remains a significant work within Hiroshige's oeuvre, offering insight into the cultural and geographic diversity of Japan during the Edo period.
