江戸高名会亭尽 深川八幡境内 二軒茶屋|Fukagawa Hachiman Keidai (Niken Jya-ya) is a 1840 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Tea Hous, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting shows a rainy scene with two women in kimonos holding parasols, standing in front of a large tree. In the background, there are several buildings with tiled roofs and a person holding a parasol. The colors are muted, with shades of brown, blue, and pink. The painting has a sense of movement, with the rain and the women's clothing suggesting a sense of activity. The tree in the foreground adds a sense of depth to the scene.
