Lake Suwa

Hiroshige’s ‘Lake Suwa’ is painted on a hanging scroll, using ink and color on silk. The work dates from around 1832 to 1858, during the Edo period in Japan.

The dimensions of the scroll are not specified. It is classified as a painting and is part of the Cleveland Museum of Art’s collection.

Hiroshige’s work is known for its atmospheric quality. This piece, like many others, reflects his subtle use of color and attention to natural landscapes.

Utagawa Hiroshige focused on landscapes, diverging from the typical ukiyo-e subjects of the time. His work influenced Western artists in the late 19th century.
