Utagawa Hiroshige

Cleveland Museum of Art

A woodblock print depicting a scene from "The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido: Hara" by Utagawa Hiroshige. The print features a woman sitting on a tree stump wearing a dark kimono with red lining and a patterned under-kimono, holding a red fan and an umbrella over her head. She sits on the left side in front of a tree trunk. Two men with large packs on their backs and conical straw hats walk away from her on a dirt path to the right. Behind them are two thin pine trees and a low green hedge. In the background, a large mountain rises under a blue sky with white clouds. The image has a beige background with a darker beige border around the edge. Japanese characters are written vertically on the right side.
