Shinagawa Station

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print titled "Shinagawa Station" by Utagawa Hiroshige. The scene shows a body of water with boats and ships, including three-masted vessels on the left. The water transitions from deep blue to light blue and then green near the shore. On the right, a small island or peninsula with trees and buildings is visible. In the foreground, a row of buildings with dark roofs and light-colored walls lines the shore. People are standing outside the buildings, and some are near horse-drawn carts. The sky above is pinkish-beige, with Japanese writing in black ink. A red vertical banner with Japanese characters is on the right side of the print. The entire image is set against a beige background, and a color palette bar is at the bottom.
