Okabe

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Okabe by Utagawa Hiroshige: A landscape with a winding road that runs from the bottom right corner up to the top right, lined with trees. Three people are on the road, one wearing a blue outfit and a hat, another with a red hat and a pack on their back, and a third with a large hat. A large hill with green and yellow hues and sparse trees rises on the left. The sky is blue at the top with a gradient to yellow and then brown at the bottom. There are vertical red and black text boxes with Japanese characters.
