One of the most celebrated designs from Hiroshige's Hoeido Tokaido (1833–34), his most famous series. The three iconic storm and snow stations—Kanbara, Shono, and Kameyama—command premium prices at all quality levels.
At Kameyama, the forty-sixth station on the Tokaido, Hiroshige captures the castle town the morning after a heavy snowfall — the sky cleared to pale blue, fresh snow covering rooftops and pine branches, and a procession of travelers and porters picking their way along the white road. The print is a quiet masterpiece of the Hoeido series, its cold clarity achieved through the judicious use of bokashi (gradated ink) and restrained color.
