Utagawa Hiroshige

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a serene scene of boats on a river. A blue river dominates the scene, with boats positioned in the foreground and middle ground. In the foreground, a boat with a thatched roof and two people on board is centered. Two larger boats with tall white sails are visible behind it, one to the left and one to the right. The boat on the left has a person standing. The background features a grassy bank with trees, a few buildings, and a pink and orange sky, suggesting a sunset or sunrise. The image is framed by a beige border with curved corners, and there are Japanese characters written in black ink at the top right and bottom right. A red seal is also present on the bottom right.
