About this work

This print shows a calm river with a red bridge crossing it. On the water, small boats float, and a few people fish near the shore. In the distance, a mountain rises under a pinkish sky with fluffy clouds, while trees line the riverbank. The text at the top is Japanese, and the scene looks peaceful at dusk. The colors are soft—blues, greens, and warm sky tones. Next, check out Utagawa Hiroshige to see more of his work.
