Five travelers in sedge hats walk beside a curving moat

A wide teal moat curves from the foreground toward a low green embankment topped with pine trees on the right; on the far bank sit rows of low buildings and a red gate. The sky shades from deep blue at the top through cream to a pink band at the horizon. Five travelers wearing conical sedge hats walk along the gray road at the bottom, moving away from the viewer. Hiroshige's red signature cartouche sits partway down the right edge, below the title cartouche.

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.
