東海道五十三次 見附 天竜川渡舟|Mitsuke is a 1840 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting boat, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a calm river with boats carrying people and goods. On the left, dark pine trees line the shore, while the right side has a sandy bank. The sky is pale blue, and distant hills fade into soft colors. Small waves ripple across the water, and a few figures stand or row in the boats. The text on the right side names this spot "Mitsuke," part of a series about a road trip. The artist used simple shapes and bright colors to show everyday life.
