"Mitsumata Wakarenofuchi" (original title: みつまたわかれの淵) is a print by the Japanese painter and illustrator Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) made in February 1858.
This illustration depicts a fork in the Sumida River from a wide perspective, highlighting the silhouette of Mount Fuji, shrouded in gray clouds, as the focal point. The white sails of the boats direct the eye toward this sacred mountain. The river is bustling with fishing boats and barges carrying goods, while a few large rushes emerge in the center of the water. This area corresponds to Nakazu Island, once renowned for its bathhouses and teahouses, which were abolished in 1789 following the reactionary Kansei Reforms. In his Illustrated Memories of Edo, Hiroshige describes Nakazu as follows: "Located south of Shin-Ōhashi Bridge, Nakazu was once famous for its bustling teahouses. Today, it has become a wetland, particularly beautiful under snow."
