五十三次名所図会 御油 本野ヶ原本坂ごへ|Goyu is a 1855 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Impressionism work, depicting Landscape, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet countryside scene with a snow-capped mountain in the distance. In the foreground, three people walk along a path near tall, drooping trees. Two of them carry umbrellas, and one sits by the riverbank. Small huts with thatched roofs dot the landscape, and the sky is a soft blue with wispy clouds. The artist used bold colors and simple shapes to create a peaceful, everyday moment. Notice how the trees and people are outlined clearly, yet the background fades gently into the distance. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige to see more prints like this one.
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.
