東海道五十三次 小田原

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Colorful woodblock print depicts a serene landscape with a road winding through a grassy area dotted with large trees. The trees have thick trunks and sprawling canopies. People walk along the road, some carrying umbrellas. In the background, a body of water stretches out to the horizon, where it meets a yellow and orange sky. Japanese characters appear in the top-left and top-right corners, with a red seal in the top-left corner. A red banner with Japanese characters is in the top-right corner. The print's edges are rough and aged, with a beige background. The scene appears to be set during either sunrise or sunset.
