名所江戸百景 目黒太鼓橋夕日の岡|The Taiko (Drum) Bridge and the Yuhi Mound at Meguro is a 1857 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Impressionism work, depicting Bridge, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a snowy winter scene with a frozen river and bare trees. A curved bridge arches over the water, with a few people walking across. The sky is dark blue with scattered stars, and the ground is dusted white. On the right side, there’s a small sign with Japanese text. The artist used simple shapes and flat colors to create depth, focusing on the quiet beauty of nature. The bridge looks sturdy but delicate, almost like a sketch come to life. Next, look up Utagawa Hiroshige to see more prints like this one.
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.
