Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Woodblock print, rectangular shape with a white background. A dirt path runs through the center, bordered by greenish-blue water on both sides. Two large trees stand on the left side of the path, with several smaller trees on the right. Four people wearing traditional Japanese clothing and hats are on the path. One person wears a blue outfit and holds a fishing rod. Another person wears a long, light-colored coat. Two people are in the distance, one holding a round object. A mountain is in the background, with a yellowish-pink sky above. Japanese characters are in the top-left and top-right corners, and a long, thin red banner with characters is on the right side.
