Okabe; Utsu no Yama

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Okabe; Utsu no Yama by Utagawa Hiroshige: A winding road runs along a hillside with a small stream. The road has two people on it; one wears blue clothing and a hat, and the other wears a beige robe and a conical hat. The road curves to the left toward the background, where a few buildings are nestled between mountains. The hills on either side of the road are covered with short, dark green plants. There are trees on both sides, some with orange leaves. The sky fades from dark blue at the top to cream-colored near the horizon. The print is bordered with a beige frame and has Japanese text and stamps on the right and left sides.
