Snow-laden trees frame a steep arched bridge in falling snow

A steeply arched stone bridge crosses a river between snow-covered hills, trees and bamboo, its railings capped with snow. Two travellers cross the bridge, one under an umbrella and one in a broad hat; two more in wide straw hats climb the snowy slope at lower right, and a figure in a straw rain cape passes the fence at far left. Snow falls from a deep indigo sky that pales toward the white tree line. The red series cartouche is at upper right and the signature in a red panel at lower right. From One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, 1857.

Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) was the last great master of the ukiyo-e landscape print. Born into a family of fire wardens in Edo, he turned to printmaking under Utagawa Toyohiro and found his subject in the roads and seasons of Japan — above all in the Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō (1833–34) and the One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (1856–58). His snow, rain and evening skies, and his bold near-and-far compositions, were studied closely by Van Gogh, Whistler and Monet. His prints are held by the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
