Pine-lined hillside path down to a bay at sunset

A hillside path lined with wind-bent pines descends toward a wide bay under a fading orange sunset. Travelers in round straw hats and blue robes make their way down the slope past reed fish-weirs and moored sailboats visible on the water below. A title cartouche naming the station appears at upper left with a red seal beneath it, and a further red seal marks the artist's signature at right. From the Tōkaidō 53 Stations series.

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.
