Distant View of Mount Akiha, Kakegawa

Utagawa (Andō) Hiroshige, 1833/1835

This print shows a curved bridge extending from the bottom right toward the center. The horizon line shows a foggy landscape in the distance beyond a body of water, with mountains on the right side. The sky transitions from deep blue at the top to a lighter beige near the horizon. People in wide hats and long robes are crossing the bridge, including a child in a pink garment. There are streetlamps or birdhouses extending up in front of the bridge. Beyond the bridge is a body of blue water with swaying reeds. The color palette consists of soft blues, earthy browns, and gentle greys.
