Autumn Moon on the Tama River

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Woodblock print with a beige background and slightly darker beige border. A river spans the bottom half, with a weeping willow tree on the right bank and a curved boat on the river. Three people stand on the near bank, two wearing white and one wearing a conical hat. Two people are in the boat. The far bank has a few people and a forest of trees. A range of low mountains is in the background. The sky is blue at the top and fades to pale yellow towards the horizon. The moon is a white circle near the top centre. Japanese text is in the top right corner and along the left edge. A color calibration bar is at the bottom.
