東海道五十三次 宮|Miya is a 1838 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Boat, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a waterfront scene with a big wooden gate in the foreground. A few people are loading or unloading boats near a dock. In the background, there’s a building with a tiled roof and a distant landscape with hills and trees. The red gate is a *torii*, a traditional Japanese marker often found at shrine entrances. The boats look like they’re carrying goods, and the people are dressed simply. Next, look up Utagawa Hiroshige to see more of his work.
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.
