六十余州名所図会 因幡 か路小山|View of Kajikoyama, Inaba Province, from the series Views of Famous Places in the Sixty-Odd Provinces is a 1853 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Landscape, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a tall pine tree on a grassy shore by a calm body of water. Behind it, distant hills fade into a soft pink sky. The tree’s branches are detailed, with some smaller trees and rocks scattered nearby. The artist used bold colors and clean lines to make nature look peaceful. The text along the right side names the place—Kajikoyama—and the artist’s signature is in the corner. Next, look up Utagawa Hiroshige to see more of his famous landscapes.
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.
