名所江戸百景 目黒太鼓橋夕ひの岡|Ochanomizu is a 1883 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Impressionism work, depicting Bridge, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This woodblock print depicts a serene winter scene. A bridge spans a stream, with a few people crossing it, while others stand on the riverbank. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and a starry night sky. In the foreground, the bridge and the people on it are rendered in muted colors, while the trees and the sky are depicted in shades of gray and blue. The overall effect is one of tranquility and peacefulness. This print is a great example of Japanese art. You might also enjoy looking at works by Utagawa Hiroshige.
