Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Japanese woodblock print depicts a river scene with a bridge. The bridge is on the left side and spans to the center. The bridge has a reddish-brown color, metal railings on both sides and concrete supports. The bridge has a slight upward curve. There are three boats on the water below, two in the foreground and one behind the bridge support. The boat in the center foreground has a yellow top and reddish-brown bottom. A person wearing a conical hat rows the boat. The boat to the right has a person standing and using a long pole. The background shows a mountain range with dark-colored mountains. There are buildings on the right side with blue and gray roofs. The sky is pinkish at the top and fades to blue near the horizon. Japanese characters are written in black ink in the top center and on the left and right sides. A red banner with Japanese characters is on the right side.
