Asakayama Hanami

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The rectangular image depicts a serene scene with a blue-green hillside covered in white cherry blossom trees. Two brown horses, ridden by people wearing conical straw hats, are walking on a beige path on the right. A large group of people in blue clothing is gathered on the left, facing the horses. A few trees without blossoms are scattered throughout the hillside. The background features a gradient sky transitioning from blue at the top to beige towards the horizon. Japanese writing appears on the right side. The title is "Asakayama Hanami" and the artist is Hiroshige.
