Travels with Hiroshige was an exhibit at the Worcester Art Museum of The Famous Views of the 60-Odd Provinces, a series of landscape prints by Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858).
This print is my entry to the T Day Party
"In his portrayal of Mount Asama, Hiroshige depicts travelers pausing to enjoy teahouse refreshments and the spectacular view of Ise Bay..."

I loved visiting the museum with you today! Wow, those landscapes are amazing! They are so detailed and the colours and scenes are stunning 😁. Thanks for sharing and wishing you a very happy T Day! Jo x
They look like paintings, but they are prints. Amazing.
But the weekend is supposed to be really nice
The Prussian blue he used is really stunning.
Wow what a wonderful art exhibit! I really enjoyed this-thank you so much for sharing with us.
Happy T wishes Kathy

what beautiful art works and scenery-love these. Thanks for sharing them- a great read about them too once I clicked for bigger views:) Happy T day!
These are really beautiful pieces of art!
It must have been a super exhibition to see. All the photos of the landscapes looked beautiful.
Happy T day wishes.

I love these old Japanese prints. That's one form of art that I think I'd like to have to frame for a wall. This is a lovely selection. Happy T Tuesday!
WOW Impressive prints! Thanks for the museum tour! (I like going to museums in my PJ's! LOL) ;)
Those woodblock prints are out of this world, dear CJ. I enjoyed enlarging each to see and read about them. I like how you chose the one you found appropriate for T, too. The tea house is a staple in the monastery, and it is a great entry for T this Tuesday, too. Great way to think outside the box.
Thank you for taking us to the Hiroshige exhibit, CJ. The paintings are lovely and serene.
Happy T-day! EIleen xx
Both beautiful and informative.
Beautiful paintings. I've always loved Japanese art. The simpleness of it. Now I have a vase my cat broke and I'm trying to remember the name of when it is repaired ...I think using gold paint or something - ...I'm definitely going to look this up and fix it - three main pieces and one small piece - shouldn't be hard to glue together.
I'm glad they enlarged ok.
Sadly, my iPhone camera didn't really capture the amazing color especially the blue
Even better because I was in gallery all by my lone.
:-D
They really are quite nice
I wish I could go to the museum in my PJs :-D
Just a change of pace from my usual T fare.
Very easy to get lost in the prints. So quiet, peaceful.
Thanks to the museum curators.
The art form of repair broken pottery with gold is called Kintsugi. When I repaired cracks in my grandmother's tea cup, I used gold leaf. You can read about the process here:

Thank you for taking me to the exhibition. It's beautiful. I love the serene scenes and the beautiful colours, especially the colour blue. I have recently read a book called 'Blue' and is set in 18th century London (and France) about the most coveted colour blue and the porcelain industry. Fascinating. (written by Nancy Bilyeau).
Happy belated T-Day,
Hugs,
