Toto, Ryogoku, from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A woodblock print depicts a river scene. A woman in a blue and white kimono stands on a wooden dock, looking out over the water. A second woman sits in a small wooden boat next to the dock. A long bridge with tall supports spans the river in the background. Several boats are on the river. A mountain with a pointed peak and some snow on the side is in the distance. The sky fades from blue at the top to pink near the horizon. Two red banners with black Japanese characters are on the right. A tree branch hangs down from the top left. The image has a beige border.
