諸国六玉川 武蔵調布（収載資料名：[武者无類外ニ三枚続キ画帖]）

広重 · 1 picture

A Utagawa Hiroshige woodblock print from a Japanese picture-book series, the record giving no date or place beyond its Japanese title and attribution. The scene is a riverside landscape with Mount Fuji on the horizon, willows and thatched houses, and figures washing cloth and carrying a bucket along the pale river banks. A designer might take its flat colour bands, layered distance and the calm asymmetric placement of small figures against open water.
