The artwork titled “110. Robe Hanging Pine at Senzoku No Ike,” created by Hiroshige in 1857, is a woodblock print that belongs to the Ukiyo-e art movement and falls within the landscape genre. This particular piece is part of the “One Hundred Famous Views of Edo” series.
The artwork depicts a serene landscape featuring a prominently positioned pine tree by the side of a tranquil water body, identified as Senzoku No Ike. The tree, known as the Robe Hanging Pine, stands out with its robust branches extending over the calm waters, which navigate through the scene creating a sense of fluid motion. In the background, rolling hills and a setting or rising sun cast gentle hues of orange and pink across the sky, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. In the foreground, small human figures and two carriages are visible, suggesting the presence of a nearby settlement or travel route. The overall composition combines natural beauty and human activity, characteristic of Hiroshige’s ability to capture Edo-period landscapes with intricate detail and artistic sensitivity.
