東海道五十三次 藤澤|Fujisawa is a 1840 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Animal, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This woodblock print depicts a lively scene of people gathered in front of a building. The crowd is dressed in traditional Japanese attire, with some carrying lanterns or baskets. In the background, a large tree and a torii gate are visible, set against a blue sky. A closer look reveals a horse on the left side of the image, while a person is seen walking up a path on the right. The overall atmosphere is one of activity and community.
