東海道五十三次 藤川|Fujikawa, from the series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō Road is a 1916 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, depicting House, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a serene winter scene. In the foreground, a horse stands facing away, carrying a large load of goods. The horse is positioned in front of a row of houses, with trees lining the left side of the image. The background features a snowy landscape with a gray sky, suggesting a cold and peaceful atmosphere. A notable detail in the image is the use of subtle color tones to convey the winter setting. The artist's choice of muted colors adds to the overall sense of calmness and tranquility in the scene. For a deeper exploration of Japanese art, consider looking into the works of Utagawa Hiroshige.
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.
