About this work

This print shows a busy park scene with people walking under bright pink cherry blossoms. Women in long red and blue robes hold colorful parasols, while men in suits carry bags or walk beside them. A small shrine sits on an island in the pond, with a mountain in the background. Notice how the artist packed lots of people into the scene—everyone looks busy but calm. The bright colors pop against the green grass and blue sky. Want to see more? Check out Utagawa Hiroshige III for his other prints.
