A crescent moon hangs in a night sky crossed by a long skein of geese in flight. Below, a raised embankment path is lined with bamboo-thatched teahouses hung with red paper lanterns; palanquins are carried on shoulder poles past pedestrians toward the row of stalls. Dark trees and a still lake fill the middle distance. Hiroshige’s red signature cartouche sits partway down the left edge, opposite the title cartouche at the upper right.
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.
