Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A woodblock print depicting a coastal scene with a red boat in the foreground, featuring a white sail and three people on board. The boat is sailing on choppy blue water towards the left. In the background, on the left, a larger boat with three sails is visible, while a small island or rock is in the distance. A rocky cliff with trees and houses is on the right side. The sky is beige with a pink hue at the top, suggesting either sunrise or sunset. Japanese characters are at the top left and right corners.
