The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido: Otsu

Utagawa Hiroshige

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print of a village scene. In the foreground, a road with a blue-green gradient stretches across the bottom, featuring two ox-drawn carts with blue canopies and large wheels. The cart on the left carries a large bundle of goods wrapped in yellow and brown fabric, while people in traditional clothing are engaged in various activities nearby. A small blue waterfall flows into a small pool on the left. The background shows several thatched-roof buildings, trees, and a body of water under a blue and white sky. Japanese characters and two red seals are visible in the top left corner. The print's color palette features a range of blues, greens, yellows, browns, and blacks.
