六十余州名所図会 対馬 海岸夕晴|Tsushima Kaigan Yubare is a 3 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Impressionism work, depicting Boat, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a bright blue sea with a small island covered in green hills. A few boats float near the shore, and a rainbow arcs high in the sky. The water looks calm, and the hills fade into distant mountains under a soft, pale sky. The rainbow is the only one in the scene—it stands out against the quiet water and land. This print was made using woodblock printing, a traditional Japanese method. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige next to see more of his work.
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.
