諸国六玉河 武蔵 調布の玉川|Musashi: Chōfu no Tamagawa is a 1833 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Landscape, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet riverside scene with three people near a well. One person is filling a bucket, another leans against a post, and a child watches. The river behind them is calm, with a few boats floating. Tall trees and distant mountains frame the view, while a fenced house sits on the left. The artist used soft colors—blues, greens, and earth tones—to keep the mood peaceful. The Japanese text along the top and side hints at a specific place name, but the scene feels timeless. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige next to see more of his everyday landscapes.
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.
