名所江戸百景 千駄木団子坂花屋敷|Sendagi Dangozaka is a 1856 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Impressionism work, depicting Landscape, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet street lined with cherry blossom trees in full bloom. People walk along a gentle slope, some stopping to admire the flowers. In the background, a large building with a tiled roof sits among dark pine trees, while a bright blue sky floats with fluffy clouds. The artist used bold colors—pinks, blues, and greens—to highlight the season’s fleeting beauty. The trees’ branches are carefully drawn to show their delicate blossoms. Next, look into Utagawa Hiroshige.
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.
