東海道五十三次 戸塚|Totsuka

About this work

This print shows a winding road lined with tall, dark pine trees on both sides. A few people walk along the path, carrying bundles or pulling carts. In the distance, a river bends around a small village with houses and hills beyond, under a pale blue sky. The artist used flat colors and clean outlines to keep the scene simple and balanced. The trees lean inward, almost like a tunnel, while the road and river guide your eye deeper into the image. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
