DESCRIPTION:A much-loved designer of 19th-century Japanese landscape prints
 \, Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) created images that leave lasting impre
 ssions. Particularly breathtaking are his winter scenes of Edo-period Japa
 n that show people going about their everyday lives. Whether sightseeing o
 r carrying loads through a mountain pass\, small figures are dwarfed by th
 e sheer beauty of nature. In one of the most famous prints in the museum
 ’s collection\, it is late evening in the village of Kanbara. Travelers 
 trudge through ankle-deep snow\, making their way along the Tokaido road\,
  which ran from Edo (now Tokyo) to Kyoto. To guard themselves against the 
 elements\, one figure has covered himself with a straw “raincoat\,” wh
 ile another protects himself with an umbrella. \n\nThe Art Institute of Ch
