Rows of white and brick-red cloth banners, each marked with a square emblem, hang from two tall bamboo poles, one topped by a spoked frame. A large red-and-yellow umbrella with a purple valance rises on its own pole above a long crimson streamer brushed with black characters, and a purple banner with white lettering edges the right side. In the foreground crowd the tops of pilgrims‘ round hats and yellow fans; beyond, a boatman in a conical hat poles a skiff as sailboats cross the bay.
Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) was the last great master of the ukiyo-e landscape print. Born into a family of fire wardens in Edo, he turned to printmaking under Utagawa Toyohiro and found his subject in the roads and seasons of Japan — above all in the Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō (1833–34) and the One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (1856–58). His snow, rain and evening skies, and his bold near-and-far compositions, were studied closely by Van Gogh, Whistler and Monet. His prints are held by the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
