A teahouse rest stop below jagged, waterfall-streaked peaks

Rocky, blue-grey peaks streaked with cascading waterfalls rise above a thatched-roof teahouse where travelers sit and rest. In the foreground a pack ox loaded with baskets is led up a path from the riverside, and porters wait beside their boxes, as the sky fades from pink to pale gold. The artist's signature and a red seal appear at lower left.

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.
