The Sixty-Nine Stations of the Kiso Highway: Shionata

Utagawa Hiroshige

Cleveland Museum of Art

The woodblock print depicts a serene landscape with a body of water. A large tree with a wide trunk and sprawling branches stands on the right side, its leaves are green. To the right of the tree, a thatched roof structure with an open side provides shade for a public bath. Several nude people are bathing inside. Three men walk along the shore in the foreground; one wears a green tunic and a head covering, another wears a gray tunic, and the third wears a yellow poncho-like garment and a straw hat. In the background, a mountain range stretches across the horizon, with a forest of trees along the shore. The sky above transitions from yellow to orange to red, indicating either sunrise or sunset. Japanese characters are written in the top left corner.
