江戸近郊八景之内 羽根田落雁|Haneda Rakugan is a 1835 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Landscape, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet wetland at dusk. Tall reeds fill the foreground, with a few birds scattered across the water. In the distance, a small wooden shrine sits on a patch of dry ground, surrounded by dark pine trees. The sky is soft blue with a few wispy clouds, and the light fades toward the horizon. Notice how the artist uses simple lines and flat colors to create depth. The text along the sides is in Japanese, likely describing the scene. 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.
