Susaki yuki no hatsuhi|東都名所 洲崎雪之初日|New Year's Sunrise after Snow at Susaki is a 1831 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Landscape, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This serene woodblock print depicts a tranquil winter scene. In the foreground, a snow-covered village stretches along a winding river, with a few boats gently floating on the water. The sky above is a soft blend of blue and pink, with a few wispy clouds scattered across it. A subtle yet striking detail is the use of cross-hatching to create texture and depth in the snow and trees. This technique adds a sense of realism to the otherwise dreamy scene. If you're interested in exploring more works like this, you might enjoy learning about the Romanticism movement.
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.
