諸国六玉川 山城井出（収載資料名：[武者无類外ニ三枚続キ画帖]）

広重 · 1891 · 1 picture

A Meiji-era Japanese woodblock print from 1891 attributed to Hiroshige, drawn from a picture album of famous places and classical poetry sites. It shows a courtly figure in a purple robe with attendants beside a river in a yellow-flowered field, under a distant mountain and cherry trees. A designer could draw on its flat colour planes, pale blue water bands and layered landscape recession for a restrained, historical palette.
