The story and details
The story: From Famous Views of the Sixty-odd Provinces (1853–56), Hiroshige’s tour of every province of Japan in upright format. The name Urami means ‘seen from behind’: pilgrims could once walk along a ledge behind the falling water. Hiroshige gives the waterfall almost the whole height of the sheet, in the deep blue that Western collectors would later call Hiroshige blue.
