This print shows three travelers walking along a path next to a river. Two of them carry walking sticks, and one wears a wide-brimmed hat. Behind them is a big tree with long drooping branches, and in the distance, a mountain with a faint glow at its peak. The travelers look small against the huge landscape, making the scene feel vast and quiet. The artist used soft colors—blues, greens, and muted yellows—to create a calm mood. Next, check out Utagawa Hiroshige to see more of his work.
