View of Ochanomizu in the Eastern Capital

Shōtei Hokuju 昇亭北寿

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A serene Japanese landscape painting depicts a road winding down a steep hill on the right side. The road curves to the left, entering a tunnel-like structure with a tiled roof. A steep hill covered in diagonal stripes of greenery rises on the right, with a fence running along the top and people walking. A hill on the left side features sparse trees and bushes on a steep slope. In the background are more trees, buildings, and a mountain under a cloudy sky. The artwork features Japanese characters on the right side and two seals in the bottom-left corner.
