東都名所 上野東叡山ノ圖|Ueno Toezan no Zu is a 1835 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting House, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet park scene with cherry blossoms in full pink bloom. Tall trees line a path where people walk, some carrying umbrellas. In the background, red-roofed buildings peek through the branches, and a bridge arches over a narrow waterway. The sky is soft and pale, blending into the distance. The artist used bold colors—deep greens, bright pinks, and rich reds—to highlight nature and architecture. The people look small, making the trees and blossoms feel even grander.

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.
