New Years At the Temple, Ando Hiroshige, Japanese, 1797–1858, Woodblock print in colored ink on paper, This New Years' scene is a mad dash to get to the shrine and Temple for the yearly tradition in order to have a great new year. Thousands of people swarm in the middle of winter to pay their respects, make wishes, pray for good health and safety, and overall have good blessings for the upcoming year. Hiroshige decorates the scene with unrealistic cherry blossoms but gives it a cheery and celebratory backdrop., Japan, 1797-1858, landscapes, Print
