Okazaki

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Okazaki by Utagawa Hiroshige: A river scene with a bridge and a body of water on the left side. A brown horse is walking on a paved road on the right side. A person wearing a conical hat sits on the horse. The horse and rider are facing left. Three people wearing conical hats walk behind the horse. A low railing separates the road from the river. A large field of tall green plants stands on the far side of the river, with buildings on the right side and mountains on the left side in the background. The sky fades from dark blue at the top to yellow then orange near the horizon.
