Ikegami Bansho|江戸近郊八景之内 池上晩鐘|Vesper Bells at Ikegami is a 1828 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Templ, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet evening scene by a lake. Trees line the shore, and small buildings sit near the water. A few people walk along paths, and a temple glows in the distance. The artist used thin lines to build up shadows and details. The text at the top is Japanese, but it names the place and time—evening bells. 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.
