〔東都名所〕(収載資料名:広重画帖)

広重 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from an ehon picture album attributed to Utagawa Hiroshige, likely printed in Edo in the nineteenth century for a general audience of print buyers. The scene shows a hillside shrine approach with a pagoda-like tower and sea or river beyond, drawn in flat colour with soft gradations. A designer might take its layered blue-grey mist, stepped composition, and small figures on a path as a model for atmospheric landscape layout.
