東海道五十三次 小田原|Odawara is a 1838 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Tree, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet road lined with tall, dark pine trees. Four people walk along a winding path—two carrying bags, one with a parasol, and a child running ahead. The sky is soft yellow, and the fields are green and flat, with a distant horizon. The artist focused on nature’s details, like the rough bark of the trees and the way light hits the road. The print’s name, *Odawara*, hints at a stop on a famous old travel route. Want to see more? Check out Utagawa Hiroshige.
