Santono Station

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Woodblock print on aged paper with rounded corners and a thin black border. The scene shows three people on a grassy slope, with two people wearing dark blue clothing on the lower half of the image. The person on the left is bending over with their hands near the ground. The person on the right is standing and carrying a basket on their head. A third person in pink and blue clothing is further down on the slope. There is a grassy hill with a leafless tree bearing pink blossoms on the right. The tree is near a wooden torii gate with a short staircase leading up to it. In the background, there are mountains on the horizon beneath a blue and white sky. Two red seals and some black Japanese characters are on the left side. The paper is discolored with darker edges.
