東海道五十三次 宮 七里の渡し 熱田鳥居 寝覚の里|Miya is a 1840 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Boat, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This serene woodblock print, titled "Miya," features a tranquil blue sea with a row of boats, some with sails, others with people on board. In the foreground, a few boats are moored, while a stone wall and a building with a tiled roof are visible on the right side. The sky above is a lighter shade of blue, dotted with a few clouds. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of calmness, drawing the viewer's eye to the boats and the sea. The print's romanticism is evident in the way the artist has captured the beauty of the natural world.
