Utagawa Hiroshige

Cleveland Museum of Art

A Japanese woodblock print titled 'Verses for Winter and Spring' by Utagawa Hiroshige. The print depicts a vertical rectangular pillar standing in a body of water. The pillar is colored in a gradient from red at the top to green at the bottom. Black Japanese characters are written vertically on the pillar. The water around the pillar is blue and has short black lines indicating ripples. In the background, there are bare trees on a hill, and a small house with a red roof. The sky above appears to be overcast and gray. The print is on aged paper with visible signs of wear and tear. The edges of the paper are rough and slightly curled.
