江都名所 飛鳥山はな見|Asukayama Hanami is a 1742 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Baroque work, depicting Horse, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a lively scene of people gathered in a park under blooming trees. Two riders on horseback lead the way through a crowd, while others stand or sit along a path. The trees are bare except for clusters of pink flowers, and the sky is a soft blue. The artist used bold colors and clear lines to show depth, with small details like the riders’ hats and the crowd’s varied poses. The print’s bright greens and pinks stand out against the blue background. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige next to see more of his work.
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.
