東海道五十三次 鳴海 名産絞り店|Narumi is a 1840 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Street, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This woodblock print depicts a street scene with people walking in various directions. On the left, a man in a blue robe carries a large object on his back, while a woman in a black and white kimono walks in the opposite direction. In the background, a mountain rises on the left, and buildings line the right side of the street. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and movement in the scene. The contrast between the cool tones of the mountain and the warm tones of the buildings adds to the visual interest. For more on the artist's work, look up Utagawa Hiroshige.
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.
