Lake Suwa

Utagawa Hiroshige

Cleveland Museum of Art

A vertical rectangular painting on beige paper with a landscape scene. The top half shows a pale blue-grey sky with faint clouds and brown discoloration. In the background, a large snow-capped mountain is centered, with smaller mountains on either side. The lower half depicts a body of water occupying most of the space. On the left side, there are several small trees on a landmass, one with white blossoms. In the foreground on the bottom left, a tree with sparse leaves is on a sloping hill. Two figures in blue clothing are standing on the slope. A red seal is in the bottom-left corner, accompanied by vertical Japanese characters to its right. The painting's edges have a rough, aged appearance with a darker border.
