金沢八景 乙艫帰帆|Otomo Kihan is a 1836 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Boat, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet harbor scene at sunset. Two people walk along a path near the water, one carrying an umbrella. A small boat sails toward the shore, and tall pine trees line the path. The sky is soft blue with a warm glow near the horizon, and distant hills fade into mist. Notice how the artist uses simple shapes and bold colors to create depth. The text at the top names the place—it’s one of eight famous views from Kanazawa. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige to see more prints like this.
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.
