近江八景之内 粟津晴嵐|Clearing Weather at Awazu, Lake Biwa is a 1835 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Boat, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet lake scene with a tall mountain rising in the background. The water is calm, dotted with a few small boats. On the shore, trees line the edge, and a bridge stretches across the lake. The sky is pale, with soft clouds and a hint of pink near the horizon. The artist used simple lines and flat colors to create depth, focusing on nature’s stillness. The text in the corner is Japanese, likely describing the scene. 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.
