Ando Hiroshige, Mountains and Rivers of Kiso (Snow), 1857, Fitzwilliam Museum, Art Funded 1992

The scale and monumentality of the sweeping compositions in this work, places it closer to painting than to the popular ukiyo-e print.

Many experts believe that these triptychs surpass Hokusai's earliest landscapes and hail them as the most important Japanese landscape prints.
