東海道五十三次之内 日坂 佐夜の中山|Nissaka, Sayo Nakayama is a 1834 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Landscape, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a winding mountain road with travelers and horses. The scene is bright but cool, with blue skies, green trees, and a mix of earthy browns and reds. Two people sit by the roadside near a small bundle, while others climb the steep path ahead. Notice how the artist uses sharp lines and layers of color to show depth in the hills and sky. The red bridges and trees stand out against the softer greens and blues. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige next to see more of his work.
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.
