This woodblock print shows a view of a town from behind a curtain. The curtain is white and blue with a pattern of blue shapes, and it's hanging from a wooden frame. There's a red sign on the right side of the frame with Japanese writing on it. In the background, you can see a mountain and some trees. There are also some buildings and a fence in front of the mountain. The sky is light blue and pink at the bottom, which suggests it's either sunrise or sunset. The print is by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Japanese artist known for his landscapes. If you want to learn more about his work, you could check out the artist Utagawa Hiroshige.
