Picture of the Tenryu River near Mitsuke (Station 29), from the series Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido

Utagawa Hiroshige

Cleveland Museum of Art

A river scene with boats and people. Two boats are in the foreground, one with a man and a child standing and sitting inside respectively. The man wears a blue robe and a conical hat; the child wears a blue robe and holds a long pole. The boats are wooden and empty except for the two people. In the background, several boats are on the river, some with people standing or sitting inside. A line of people and horses with a covered load are walking along the riverbank. Trees and a cloudy sky are in the distance. The sky transitions from dark blue at the top to light blue and white near the horizon. Japanese writing is in the top right corner. The image has a beige background with darker spots.
