Two women pause at a hilltop teahouse overlooking Mount Fuji

Beneath a thatched teahouse awning hung with red paper lanterns and shaded by a persimmon tree heavy with red fruit, one woman in a blue-and-white kimono stands facing the view while a second sits on the bench with a long pipe, a pale headscarf tied over her hair and a cup on the low table beside her. Below them, patchwork rice fields stretch toward snow-capped Mount Fuji, with red chrysanthemums at the slope's edge. A red title cartouche is at the upper right; the signature is in a red cartouche at the lower left, with seals beneath.

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.
