Mitsukei Tenryugawa

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Mitsukei Tenryugawa by Utagawa Hiroshige: A Japanese woodblock print depicting a riverbank scene. The foreground features two small boats, one with a man and a child. The man wears a green jacket, pink pants, and a conical hat; the child wears a brown hat and a brown garment. The boats are wooden with light-colored interiors. In the background, several other boats and people are visible. A line of trees stretches across the horizon, with a hazy hill behind. The sky transitions from blue at the top to white near the horizon. Japanese characters appear in the top-right corner, accompanied by a red seal or stamp. The print has a beige border with decorative corners.
