六十余州名所図会 大和 立田山 龍田川|Yamato, Tatsutayama, Tatsutagawa is a 7 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Impressionism work, depicting Landscape, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a calm river winding through green hills and forests. A lone figure rows a small boat near the shore, while distant mountains fade into soft blue. The trees turn warm reds and browns, and a few simple huts sit by the water’s edge. The bright red sign on the right has Japanese text—likely the title and location. The artist used bold colors and clean lines to show nature’s quiet beauty. Next, look up Utagawa Hiroshige to see how he painted other 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.
