東海道五十三次之内 蒲原 夜の雪|Evening Snow is a 1829 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Evening, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a snowy village at night. Two people walk down a path, one holding a red umbrella. Houses with slanted roofs sit under snow-covered trees. The sky is dark with tiny white dots for stars. The artist used simple shapes and soft colors to show quiet winter life. The red umbrella stands out against the white snow. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige next to see more of his calm, detailed 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.
