"The Maple Leaves of Mama Tekona Shrine" is a woodblock print created by Utagawa Hiroshige, a prominent Japanese artist from the Edo period. The print depicts a serene scene of autumn foliage in the Mama Tekona Shrine in the town of Hachioji, outside Tokyo.

In the foreground of the print, a small shrine building with a thatched roof can be seen, surrounded by maple trees with bright red leaves. The trees create a canopy over the shrine, casting dappled sunlight on the ground below. In the distance, a mountain range can be seen, shrouded in mist.

Hiroshige was known for his landscapes and his ability to capture the natural beauty of Japan in his prints. "The Maple Leaves of Mama Tekona Shrine" is one of his most famous works and is highly regarded for its use of color and composition.

The print was created using the ukiyo-e technique, which involved carving the design into a wooden block and using it to stamp the image onto paper. Hiroshige was a master of this technique and used it to create numerous prints throughout his career.

Today, "The Maple Leaves of Mama Tekona Shrine" is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and is considered a masterpiece of Japanese art.
