金沢八景 内川暮雪|Evening Snow at Uchikawa is a 1836 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Landscape, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a snowy riverside village at dusk. Two people walk along the bank, one holding a parasol and a bundle. The water is calm, with a few boats moored. In the distance, snow covers rooftops and hills, while bare trees line the shore. The artist used bold colors—deep blues for the water, bright whites for the snow—to make the scene pop. The text at the top names the place and time: "Evening Snow at Uchikawa." Next, check out Utagawa Hiroshige to see how he made everyday scenes feel dramatic.
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.
