A masterpiece of mood and atmosphere, Mishima: Morning Mist (Station No. 11) is a standout piece from Hiroshige's Tōkaidō journey. The print depicts the cold, damp start to a day of travel, with figures huddled in a palanquin and on horseback. Hiroshige’s use of soft, pale greys and blues perfectly captures the sensation of a thick morning fog, a technique that was highly innovative at the time. This Shōwa-era strike maintains the delicate tonal gradations (bokashi) required to bring the mist to life.
