Hiroshige "Suijin Shrine and Massaki on the Sumida River" -One Hundred Famous Views of Edo-

This print is one of Hiroshige’s late series, “One Hundred Views of Famous Places in Edo”. It depicts a distant view over the Sumida River through a branch of a flowering cherry tree. Hiroshige challenges a bold composition with a close view of a cherry tree in front. A combination of pale pink of cherry blossoms over the light blue sky creates a very springy atmosphere.
