東都名所 飛鳥山花盛|Asukayama Hana Zakari is a 1844 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Landscape, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a small group of people walking under tall, dark pine trees in a bright blue-green field. In the background, a distant hill has a few scattered buildings and bare branches. The sky is a thin blue line at the top, and the trees cast long shadows. One person carries an umbrella, another holds a fan, and a few wear wide-brimmed hats. The artist used bold black outlines and flat colors, with no shading—just crisp lines to show depth. The text on the right side names the place, but it’s written in Japanese.

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.
