〔江戸名所〕(収載資料名:広重画帖)

1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from an ehon picture album, titled Edo meisho, probably made in Edo for a general readership of collectors and travellers. The scene shows cherry trees in bloom across green slopes with pines, a blue river, and mounted riders on a path at right. A designer could take the layered blue-green palette and the soft pink blossom masses, which give a calm, airy landscape structure.
