Shinagawa

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a serene scene set in Shinagawa. A body of water dominates the center, with a blue hue. In the foreground, three individuals are present: one man on the left, dressed in a striped yukata and black boots, holds a parasol; a woman in a black and white yukata and a woman in a blue and black kimono sit on low tables to the right. On the left side, a structure with a sloping roof stands beside a boat with two tall masts. On the right, another building features an awning with white and red fabric. The background showcases a clear blue sky transitioning to a warm orange hue near the horizon. The artist's style is characterized by bold lines and vivid colors. Japanese characters are visible throughout the image.
