東海道五十三次 浜松

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print showing a landscape scene. The scene shows a green field with people and packhorses in the foreground. The packhorses are loaded with yellow bundles and accompanied by people wearing colorful clothing. In the midground, there are several buildings with yellow roofs and white walls. Behind the buildings, there are dark green trees and a mountain range in the background. The sky is pink and orange near the horizon, fading to gray towards the top. Japanese characters are written in black ink on the top left and right side of the image. A red seal is stamped on the top left corner. The entire image is surrounded by a beige border. The scene appears to be set in a town or village, possibly during sunset. Buildings in the background appear to be situated on a hillside.
