Yase no Sato

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The print depicts a rural scene with two men walking on a path through a field. The men are wearing traditional Japanese clothing, with one carrying a red object on a pole over his shoulder and the other carrying a large bundle on his back. A red signpost is on the right side of the path. In the background, there is a body of water and a tree without leaves. The sky is orange and yellow at the top. The field is yellow with green grass at the bottom. The artwork's title appears to be written in black Japanese characters at the top right.
