Kanaya

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Woodblock print of a serene landscape. A sloping hill with green and yellow hues descends to a body of water. The hill is dotted with numerous thin trees, predominantly on the right side. In the background, a distant mountain range is visible across the water. The sky transitions from blue at the top to orange near the horizon. Japanese text appears in several places: vertically on a red banner on the right, horizontally in the top left corner, and vertically on the right side of the image.
