Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a colorful Japanese woodblock print. A mountain sits in the background, a large triangular peak that is white with a patch of snow on the top. The sky behind the mountain transitions from white at the mountain to blue at the top. In the foreground to the right is a road with people and donkeys. They are wearing blue and yellow clothing. A pathway leads to a gate on the right. The pathway is lined on the left with green fencing. On the right are trees. In the bottom corners and top center are red rectangular bars. A black and beige patterned border surrounds the image.
