Futagawa

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Woodblock print of a landscape with a large tree in the center, on a rainy day. The tree has a thick brown trunk and green leaves. People in blue clothing and white headwear carry yellow bundles on their backs as they move along a road. Some of the people use yellow umbrellas. A building with a yellow roof is on the left. There are hills and more trees in the background. The sky is gray and blue with dark clouds and rain falling in diagonal lines. Japanese text is written in black ink on the top left and right side, and on a red banner on the right side. The image is framed by a beige border.
