Maple Trees at Mama
by Utagawa Hiroshige
Maple Tree at Mama by Utagawa Hiroshige is a masterful woodblock print from his renowned series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. The composition frames a sweeping view of rice fields, villages, and distant mountains through the arch of a maple branch with vivid autumn leaves. Hiroshige’s use of bold color contrasts, particularly the deep blues and warm reds, exemplifies the expressive potential of ukiyo-e landscape prints.
Created during the Edo period, this work reflects Hiroshige’s signature ability to blend natural beauty with human presence, presenting seasonal transitions as both visually striking and culturally meaningful. The maple leaves in the foreground symbolize impermanence and the changing rhythms of life, while the expansive view situates them within the broader landscape of Edo. Today, the print remains admired for its compositional ingenuity and timeless evocation of place.
This is a faithful reproduction as a giclée print, printed on museum-grade, archival fine art paper for lasting vibrancy and detail.
