Gathering on the Bridge c. 19th century

"Gathering on the Bridge" is a woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, created in the 19th century. The print depicts a scene of a group of samurai, some on foot and one mounted on horseback, crossing a bridge. Hiroshige's masterful use of line and color brings the scene to life, showcasing the dynamism of the figures and the intricate details of the bridge. The work is a fine example of ukiyo-e art, a genre that flourished in Edo-period Japan, and is a testament to Hiroshige's skill as a landscape artist.
