Night Scene on the Sumida River

Utagawa Hiroshige

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a serene nighttime scene along a river. A bridge stretches across the water on the left side. In the foreground, a wooden structure resembling a dock or pier stands prominently on the right. Several boats are visible on the river. The sky above features a full moon partially obscured by clouds. The dominant color palette consists of shades of gray, beige, and white. A signature and seal are present at the bottom right corner. The artwork's style suggests it is a traditional Japanese woodblock print.
