東海道五十三次 阪之下|Sakanoshita, from the series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō Road is a 1916 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, depicting Mountain, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet road scene with three travelers. Two men in hats walk together, while a third person crouches near a tree. The background has a winding path, hills, and a distant mountain. Colors are soft—greens, blues, and earthy browns. The artist used simple lines to show depth in the trees and hills. The travelers look small compared to the big landscape around them.
