Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Colorful Japanese woodblock print. A bridge with a wooden railing spans a river. People in traditional clothing walk on the bridge; one rides a horse. Boats with yellow roofs are on the river. Trees and buildings are on the right, with more trees and distant buildings on the left. A large building with a blue-green roof sits on the right bank. A pinkish-gray sky meets the horizon. Japanese characters are written vertically on the left and right edges and scattered in the sky.
