The Ishiyakushi Temple at Ishiyakushi

Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A landscape scene with a mountain range in the background features green, blue and brown mountains. In the foreground, people in blue head coverings are working in a field. There are piles of harvested crops and rows of planted crops. A body of water borders the field on the right. Trees line the field on the left. A house and other buildings are nestled among the trees. The sky is yellowish near the horizon and fades to beige at the top. There are two red seals and some foreign script near the top.
