"The Further Bank of the Oi River" is a renowned woodblock print by the celebrated Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. This artwork is part of Hiroshige's acclaimed series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō," which depicts the scenic views and cultural landmarks along the Tōkaidō road, the main travel route connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto during the Edo period. Created in the early 1830s, this series is considered one of Hiroshige's masterpieces and a quintessential example of the ukiyo-e genre.

"The Further Bank of the Oi River" captures a tranquil scene along the Oi River, which travelers had to cross when journeying along the Tōkaidō. The print showcases Hiroshige's masterful use of perspective, color, and composition to evoke the serene beauty and the everyday life of the Edo period. In the foreground, travelers are depicted wading through the shallow waters of the river, assisted by local ferrymen. The distant bank is adorned with lush greenery and traditional Japanese architecture, creating a harmonious balance between human activity and the natural landscape.

Hiroshige's attention to detail and his ability to convey the atmospheric conditions of the scene, such as the gentle flow of the river and the soft light of the sky, are hallmarks of his style. This print, like many others in the series, reflects the artist's keen observation of nature and his ability to capture the transient beauty of the world around him.

"The Further Bank of the Oi River" not only serves as a visual document of a specific location along the Tōkaidō but also offers insight into the cultural and social aspects of travel during the Edo period. Hiroshige's work remains highly influential, celebrated for its artistic excellence and its contribution to the historical record of Japan's landscape and society.
