"Vierte Station: Kanagawa" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. This print is part of Hiroshige's celebrated series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" (Tōkaidō Gojūsan-tsugi), which depicts the various post stations along the Tōkaidō road, the main travel and transport artery of Edo-period Japan, connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto. The series was first published between 1833 and 1834 and is considered one of Hiroshige's masterpieces, showcasing his skill in landscape art and his keen observation of daily life and nature.

"Vierte Station: Kanagawa" specifically illustrates the fourth station on the Tōkaidō road, Kanagawa-juku, which was located in present-day Kanagawa Ward in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. The print captures a bustling scene typical of a post station, where travelers would rest, eat, and prepare for the next leg of their journey. Hiroshige's composition often includes a mix of human activity and natural scenery, providing a vivid snapshot of the Edo period's travel culture.

In this particular print, Hiroshige employs his characteristic use of perspective and vibrant color to bring the scene to life. The foreground typically features travelers and local inhabitants engaged in various activities, while the background may showcase the natural beauty of the area, such as mountains, rivers, or coastal views. Hiroshige's attention to detail and his ability to convey the atmosphere of each location make "Vierte Station: Kanagawa" not only an important work of art but also a valuable historical document.

Hiroshige's work, including "Vierte Station: Kanagawa," has had a lasting impact on both Japanese and Western art. His influence can be seen in the works of later artists, including the Impressionists, who admired his innovative use of color and composition. Today, Hiroshige's prints are highly prized by collectors and continue to be studied and appreciated for their artistic and cultural significance.
