Gotenyama no yu-zakura|東都名所 御殿山之夕桜|Evening Cherry Blossoms at Gotenyama is a 1831 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Boat, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a serene landscape with a hill in the foreground, featuring three trees with blossoms. In the distance, a body of water is visible, with several boats on it. The sky above is a gradient of blue and pink hues. A few human figures are scattered throughout the scene, some standing on the hill and others on the water's edge. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of tranquility and peacefulness. The use of soft colors and gentle brushstrokes adds to the calming effect of the painting.
