東海道五十三次之内 御油 旅人留女|Goyu, Tabibito Ryujo is a 1834 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting House, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet street scene with wooden buildings on both sides. People in traditional robes walk or sit outside—one woman holds a parasol, another carries a child, and a man inside plays a stringed instrument. The roofs are thatched, and the sky is pale with a hint of mountains in the distance. The text at the top names it *"Goyu, Tabibito Ryujo"* (Travelers Leaving Their Children). This was a common theme in Japanese prints showing daily life. 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.
