木曽海道六拾九次之内 あし田|Ashida Station is a 1836 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Human Figure, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a winding road by a river, lined with tall black trees. People walk along the path, carrying bags or umbrellas. In the distance, a mountain rises under a blue sky, and a small village sits on a hill. The artist used soft colors—greens, blues, and muted pinks—to show the scene. A red stamp in the corner gives the place a name. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige next.
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.
