Cherry Blossom Viewing

Object Details

Catalogue Status
Research in Progress
Description
This spring scene shows a traditional spring weekend of people enjoying the cherry blossoms and visiting a temple. Visitors meander through the gardens, up slopes, and around a Buddhist temple. Other people are shown leisurely strolling along and taking in the natural landscape. Hiroshige balances the scene with his architecture landscape, contrasting colors that are evenly dispersed.
