六十余州名所図会 対馬 海岸 夕晴|Evening Glow, Tsushima Province, from the series Views of Famous Places in the Sixty-Odd Provinces is a 1853 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Boat, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a calm bay with a bright rainbow stretching across the sky. In the water, small boats float near a green, hilly island. The shore has a few buildings and fishing huts, while distant mountains fade into soft blue. The colors are clean—deep blues, greens, and a pale pink in the clouds. The rainbow lands right on the horizon, almost like a bridge. The artist used simple shapes and bold colors to make the scene feel peaceful yet lively.

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.
