東海道五十三次 箱根

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Woodblock print with a beige background and darker beige border. A mountain path winds through a valley with steep cliffs on either side. The cliffs have a few trees on top and are gray. There are mountains further in the background. A group of people in robes with conical hats walk along the path. Two people carry a pole between their shoulders with fabric hanging on it. The fabric blows in the wind. To the right, there is a red vertical banner with Japanese characters. There are Japanese characters on the left cliff face, on the right side of the image, and a seal on the bottom left.
