In the Kameido Tenjin Shrine Compound

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Woodblock print with a beige border. A Japanese-style bridge spans across a body of water. The bridge is supported by multiple thin pillars. The water is vibrant blue. A tree with purple leaves descends from the top left corner. A small island with green trees protrudes from the right side. Two birds or ducks are swimming in the water. A tree trunk and vine are on the left. The background shows a hazy orange and blue sky with a few clouds near the horizon. A smaller version of the image appears in the top right corner. Two red vertical rectangles contain Japanese calligraphy, one on the bottom left and one on the right side.
