東海道五十三次之内 鳴海 名物有松絞|Narumi, Meibutsu Arimatsu Shibori is a 1834 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Horse, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a snowy street scene with people walking and horses pulling sleds. A covered stall on the left sells something, maybe food or goods. Trees line the path, and buildings peek through the snow. The sky is pale blue, and the ground looks wet and muddy. The artist used bright colors to stand out against the white snow. Notice how the people are dressed warmly but still moving around. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige to see more of his winter scenes.
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.
