Atagoshita Yabu-Kōji|東都名所 芝赤羽根之雪|Winter Landscape is a 1846 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Bridge, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a snowy riverside scene with a few people walking along the bank. A small bridge arches over the water, and boats sit frozen in the river. Buildings with red roofs line the right side, while a tall tower stands on a hill in the background. The sky is dark, and snow blankets everything. Notice how the artist used simple lines and flat colors to show depth and movement. The people look tiny against the big landscape, making it feel vast. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige next to see more of his winter scenes.
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.
