"Yabukoji Below Atago" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. This print is part of Hiroshige's famous series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," which was created between 1856 and 1858. The series depicts various seasonal and atmospheric scenes from around Edo, modern-day Tokyo, and is considered one of Hiroshige's greatest achievements, showcasing his masterful use of color and composition to convey mood and narrative.

The "Yabukoji Below Atago" print specifically captures a view of the Yabukoji, a narrow lane in the Shiba district, situated below the Atago Shrine, which was known for its steep stone stairway. The shrine, dedicated to the Shinto deity of fire prevention, Homusubi no Mikoto, was located on the summit of Atago Hill, one of the highest points in Edo. The print is characterized by its perspective that leads the viewer's eye through the lane and up towards the hill, inviting contemplation of the daily life and the natural beauty of the area.

Hiroshige's work is celebrated for its poetic interpretation of the landscape and urban life, and "Yabukoji Below Atago" is no exception. The print reflects the ukiyo-e artist's sensitivity to the changing seasons and times of day, capturing the essence of the location with a subtle palette and attention to detail. As with many of Hiroshige's prints, this image would have appealed to Edo's residents and visitors alike, offering a sense of nostalgia and appreciation for the city's landmarks and the fleeting moments of everyday life.

"Yabukoji Below Atago" remains a significant work within Hiroshige's oeuvre and is highly valued by collectors and scholars of Japanese art. It exemplifies the artist's skill in portraying the interplay between humans and their environment, and it continues to be admired for its aesthetic qualities and historical value as a document of Edo-period Japan.
