"Nihon Embankment, Yoshiwara" (日本堤 吉原) is a woodblock print from the series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Created between 1856 and 1858, this series is a monumental artistic representation of various landscapes and cityscapes of Edo, the city now known as Tokyo. The "Nihon Embankment, Yoshiwara" print depicts a scene from the Yoshiwara pleasure district, which was a licensed area for courtesans and entertainment during the Edo period.

In this print, Hiroshige captures the Nihon Embankment during the cherry blossom season, a time when the area would be bustling with visitors enjoying the transient beauty of the flowers. The embankment was a popular spot for such leisure activities and offered a view of the surrounding fields and the distant Mount Fuji. The composition typically features figures strolling or resting under the cherry trees, with the iconic mountain in the background, symbolizing the beauty and cultural significance of the location.

Hiroshige's work is characterized by his masterful use of perspective, color, and space to convey the mood and atmosphere of the depicted scenes. "Nihon Embankment, Yoshiwara" is no exception, showcasing his ability to blend the everyday life of Edo's inhabitants with the natural beauty of the landscape. The print is a testament to Hiroshige's skill in capturing the essence of a place and the spirit of an era.

As part of "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," this print contributes to the series' impact on both Japanese art and the broader art world. Hiroshige's influence extended beyond Japan, contributing to the Japonisme movement in Europe and inspiring Western artists such as Vincent van Gogh. Today, "Nihon Embankment, Yoshiwara" is considered an important work within Hiroshige's oeuvre and is highly regarded for its historical and artistic value, offering insight into the urban culture of 19th-century Japan.
