The Ono at Ryogoku Yanagibashi

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A colorful, vintage-style Japanese woodblock print depicting a scene by a river. The scene shows a two-story building with a gray roof and reddish-brown pillars on the left side. The building has a covered walkway on the second floor with people standing. The first floor has a fence in front of it. People are standing on a bridge over the river on the right side. Three women in traditional Japanese clothing sit in a boat on the river in the foreground. Two of the women hold parasols. The boat is being rowed by a man with a blue parasol. The background shows trees, a small white building, and a blue and white sky. A red and green fan with Japanese characters floats in the top-right corner. Two red pillars with Japanese characters are on either side of the print. The image has a beige border around it.
