Scenery of Sakata in Shōnai Domain of Dewa Province

Utagawa Sadahide

1868 (Meiji 1)

Donated by Tanba Tsuneo


This piece shows Sakata and Tsuruoka, centering around Mount Chōkai​. While the image is not entirely accurate to life, with Sakata being on the left bank of Mogami River, and Hamanaka in-between Kamo and Yunohama, it remains a work whose powerful composition still catches the eye.
