Families stroll a blossoming hillside above a lantern-lit canal

Families in kimono stroll across a green hillside planted with pines and cherry trees in full bloom, Mount Fuji's pale form rising between the branches. Below, a canal lined with tile-roofed teahouses hung with red lanterns carries small boats past clusters of blossoming trees. A red vertical cartouche at upper right gives the series and place names, with the artist's signature cartouche at left and round seals beneath it.

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.
