東海道五十三次 藤沢|Fujisawa is a 1838 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Bridge, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a busy riverside scene with people walking, fishing, and crossing a red bridge. Buildings with sloped roofs line the water, and a tall wooden gate stands near a tree. The background has soft mountains under a pale sky. Notice how the artist used flat colors and simple shapes to show depth. The bridge and buildings look like they’re floating above the water. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige next to see more of his work.
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.
