Kawaguchi

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A blue river curves through the image, surrounded by mountains and hills in various shades of gray and black. Red boats are on the river, some with people in them. Trees are on the hills and along the riverbank, some with bare branches and others with green foliage. A weeping willow tree is in the foreground, on the left side. A small hill is in the bottom-left corner with two people standing on it. Japanese text is in the top-right and bottom-left corners, as well as along the right edge near the top. The image has a beige border around it. "Kawaguchi by Utagawa Hiroshige".
