京都名所之内 八瀬之里|Yase no Sato is a 1834 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Landscape, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows two people carrying bundles on their backs, walking along a dirt path by a river. The scene is bright, with yellow fields, green grass, and a blue sky. One person wears a wide-brimmed hat, and the other has a red cloth tied around their waist. In the background, a leafless tree stands near the water, and a small building sits on a hill. The artist used simple shapes and bold colors to show daily life in nature. The text at the top names the place, which hints at a real location in Japan.
