Yokkaichi: View of the Mie River

From Hiroshige’s first Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō series (c. 1833–34). Yokkaichi was known for a major market held on the fourth day of every month, but instead of the market Hiroshige chose a windy scene in the marshes along the Mie River just outside the town. No written record explains the choice; the result is a lively display of the power of wind.
