Ueno, Shinobazu no Ike

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Woodblock print with rounded corners, featuring a serene landscape. A group of people walk along a tree-lined path on the right side. The path runs along a body of water on the left. Bare trees line both sides of the path. In the background, a few buildings are visible on the water and on the distant shore. The sky transitions from blue at the top to orange near the horizon. A large tree is on the right side. A vertical seal with Japanese characters is in the upper right corner.
