浪花名所図会 今宮 十日恵比寿|Imamiya Toka Ebisu is a 1828 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Human Figure, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a busy street scene with people walking, talking, and carrying things. A big tree with red fruit stands near a lantern hanging from a branch. In the background, a river and distant hills fade into a soft blue sky. Notice how the artist packed lots of tiny details—like the different hats and tools—into one scene. The colors are bright but simple, focusing on everyday life. Next, look up Utagawa Hiroshige to see how he made ordinary moments feel special.
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.
