歌川広重画 「名所江戸百景 駒形堂吾嬬橋」|“Azuma Bridge from Komagatadō Temple,” from the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (Meisho Edo hyakkei, Komagatadō Azumabashi) is a 1857 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige|Uoya Eikichi, a Impressionism work, depicting Boat, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a nighttime river scene with a bridge and buildings along the shore. A large black bird flies low over the water, its wings spread wide. Boats drift on the river, and a red flag flutters on a pole near the right side. The artist used bold colors—deep blues for the sky and water, bright greens for trees—to make the scene feel alive. The buildings look simple but detailed, with rooftops and lanterns glowing softly. Next, look up Utagawa Hiroshige to see more of his famous prints.
