1770
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Chofu Tama River in Musashi Province (from the series The Six Tama Rivers of the Floating World) is a 1770 by Kitao Shigemasa, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see a quiet river scene from old Japan. Boats drift near the shore. Trees lean over the water. A few people walk on the far bank. This is an ukiyo-e print. It shows daily life in the Edo period. The colors are soft and flat, typical for this style. Look up Kitao Shigemasa (Japanese, 1739–1819) to see more prints by this artist.
Kitao Shigemasa (北尾 重政; 1739 – 8 March 1820) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist from Edo.
