Fujikawa

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A traditional Japanese woodblock print depicting a winter landscape with snow-covered ground and trees, titled "Fujikawa" by Utagawa Hiroshige. The scene shows two horses pulling a cart with a blue canopy along a path, with several buildings on the right. Snowflakes fall from a grey sky that transitions to blue near the horizon. Japanese text is visible along the right edge and scattered throughout the image, written vertically. The print has a light-brown border with a darker brown inner border, and a small circular mark is in the bottom-right corner.
