江戸高名会亭尽 王子 扇屋|The Ōgiya at Ōji is a 1838 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Baroque work, depicting Stream, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This woodblock print depicts a serene scene of a stream, with a group of people gathered around it. The stream is flanked by trees and buildings, creating a sense of tranquility. In the foreground, a woman is shown carrying a bundle on her back, while another woman is depicted in a dynamic pose, as if she is about to jump into the stream. The print features a range of colors, including blues, greens, and browns, which add to the overall sense of calmness. The artist's use of bold lines and subtle shading creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
