Utagawa Hiroshige

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Japanese woodblock print, rectangular with slightly curved corners. The scene depicts a road with people walking. The people are wearing blue and red clothing, and some have straw hats. One person carries a large rectangular object wrapped in yellow paper or fabric. The road is bordered by a low stone wall on the left and a green hillside on the right. A wooden gate is in the background, with a building behind it. There are trees on both sides of the gate, behind a fence. The sky above is blue and clear. Japanese characters are written vertically on the right side of the image. Two red seals are placed on the right side of the image. The print has a beige border around the edges.
