東海道五十三次之内 濱松 冬枯の図|Hamamatsu, Toko no Zu is a 1834 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Human Figure, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a snowy winter scene with four people working in a field. Two sit near a tall, bare tree with steam rising from their clothes, while two others crouch in the distance. The background has a few small houses and leafless trees against a pale blue sky. Notice how the steam from the workers’ breath blends with the tree’s trunk—it’s almost like the tree is alive. This print is part of a series about travel routes in Japan. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige next to see more of his winter landscapes.
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.
