東都名所 目黒行人阪之図|Meguro Gionin Zaka is a 1828 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Human Figure, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet village scene with a river, fields, and a mountain in the distance. People walk along a path under tall pine trees, some carrying umbrellas. On the right, a small group works near a fence, while others sit at tables under a roof. The colors are bright but soft, with blues, greens, and reds standing out against the light background. The mountain in the background looks like a famous one, but it’s just part of the everyday scenery here. The artist used simple shapes and clean lines to show both nature and people in one scene.

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.
