1836
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Kanō, from the series Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaidō is a 1836 by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a group of travelers walking along a road lined with tall pine trees. In the background, there’s a wide, flat field with more trees and a small building with a thatched roof. The people are dressed in simple clothes, some carrying bags or walking sticks, while a few sit or rest by the side of the path. The trees are drawn with sharp, dark outlines against a light, misty sky—almost like they’re reaching up. The road looks wet, maybe after rain, and the whole scene feels calm but busy at the same time. If you like this, check out Utagawa Hiroshige.
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.
