Full Blossom at Arashiyama on the Oi River

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A woodblock print depicts a river with two men on a raft. The riverbank has trees with pink blossoms growing on it. A path with stairs runs along the riverbank. One man wears a green shirt and holds a long pole extending into the water. The other man wears a red robe and faces the right. The river water is blue and slightly turbulent. The background has more trees and a hillside. There are Japanese characters on the right side. A red seal is at the bottom right corner. The print has a beige border.
