Fujisawa-shuku

Utagawa (Andō) Hiroshige, 1855

This print displays a natural scene with people engaged in various activities. At the top, two large mountains peak through misty white clouds against a pale blue-and-white sky. At the bottom is a wide gray path surrounded by green grass, with tall trees sprouting up. A group of people walk on the path, appearing to carry large items. The people are depicted in simple lines, and they have peach skin and are wearing light blue garments. Some have wide yellow hats on. In the distance, behind the trees, the path extends towards a cluster of yellow-and-orange houses at the base of the mountains. On the right side of the print are three rectangles containing vertical characters.
