1852 (ca.), Utagawa Hiroshige, Plum Garden at Sugita -- British Museum (London)

From the museum label: Two women pause at a hilltop teahouse to enjoy a view of Mount Fuji through the branches of blossoming plum trees. The misty spring air turns bright pink in the rising sun. The Sugita plum garden was an easy day trip south-west of Edo. Hiroshige concentrates on the delights of escape from the city, rather than showing the crowds.
