Arashiyama|京都名所之内 あらし山満花|Full Blossom at Arashiyama on the Oi River is a 1828 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Landscape, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a bright blue river with three people on a long, narrow raft. On the shore, cherry trees bloom pink, and a path winds through the trees. In the distance, a bridge and buildings peek through the branches. The artist used flat colors and simple shapes to show nature’s quiet beauty. The raft’s passengers seem small against the big landscape, making everything feel peaceful. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build depth with lines.
Utagawa Hiroshige (歌川 広重) or Andō Hiroshige (安藤 広重), born Andō Tokutarō (安藤 徳太郎; 1797 – 12 October 1858), was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, considered the last great master of that tradition.
