木曽海道六拾九次之内 福しま|Fukushima Station is a 1837 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Human Figure, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a rainy night scene with three people walking down a muddy path. They carry umbrellas and bundles, heading toward a small wooden bridge. Tall pine trees line the path, their branches heavy with rain, and a fence runs along the left side. In the background, a few buildings peek through the trees, and the sky is dark and stormy. The artist used bold colors—deep blues, greens, and reds—to make the scene pop. The rain is shown with quick, dotted lines, giving it a sense of movement. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
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.
