東海道五十三次 保土ヶ谷|Hodogaya is a 1838 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting human figure, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet street scene with a hill in the background. Trees line the road, and people walk or carry things. Red lanterns hang over a small bridge, and a few buildings sit near the water. The sky is light blue, and the whole scene looks calm. Look closer at the tiny figures—some wear hats, others carry bundles. The artist packed a lot of detail into small spaces. Want to see more? Check out Utagawa Hiroshige.
