A print of “Naruto Whirlpools, Awa Province” by Utagawa Hiroshige on your wall
Cobalt, indigo and the white of foam - a Naruto Whirlpools, Awa Province print is the power of the sea captured in an elegant Japanese form. This Hiroshige print feels at home in bathrooms, seaside houses and nautical interiors, but works just as well as living room wall art in a scheme of white, grey and natural wood. The vertical composition of the woodblock fills narrow walls, alcoves and the space beside the stairs perfectly, and for greater impact it can be ordered as floor-to-ceiling wallpaper. 5 mm acrylic glass gives the blues of the water a glassy depth; Dibond showcases the precision of the lines and the rhythm of the waves. Wall art for lovers of Japan, the sea and graphic art at its finest. Enter your own dimensions in the artMonte configurator and we will print it in any size.

Naruto Whirlpools, Awa Province
About the artwork
Foaming whirlpools in the Naruto Strait, rocky islets and a distant horizon line form a dramatic seascape seen almost from a bird's-eye view. Utagawa Hiroshige made this woodblock print in 1855 as part of the series Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces. The vertical format allowed him to build a deep perspective and to convey the power of the elements through rhythmic, ornamental lines of waves. Hiroshige's work strongly inspired the European Impressionists and Post-Impressionists.
