東海道五十三次 三島 朝霧|Morning Mist at Mishima is a 1833 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Animal, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This woodblock print depicts a serene scene of a group of travelers on the Tokaido road, with a large torii gate in the background. The travelers are dressed in traditional Japanese clothing and are carrying various items, including a large drum and a bundle of goods. The atmosphere is peaceful, with a soft mist rising from the ground. In the foreground, a large tree stands tall, its branches stretching upwards towards the sky. The colors used in the print are muted, with shades of blue and green dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of calmness and tranquility.
