Title: Descending Geese at Haneda/ 羽根田落雁 (Haneda Rakugan)
Creator: Utagawa Hiroshige/ 歌川広重 (Signature: Hiroshige ga/ 広重画)
Description: Nishiki-e (Multicolored Print), ink and color on paper. Geese descend down to the marshy land of Haneda. At the center of the composition in a tree filled grove a shrine is marked by the torii gate at the end of the grassy path. Two figures can be seen walking away from the shrine. In the distance sails can be seen just past the marsh grasses. The area depicted in this print would become the site for Tokyo’s Haneda airport today.

Title: Yokkaichi: Mie River/ 四日市三重川 (Yokkaichi, Miegawa)
Creator: Utagawa Hiroshige/ 歌川広重 (Signature: Hiroshige ga/ 広重画)
Description: Nishiki-e (Multicolored Print), ink and color on paper. Two travelers walk across paths and bridges built through the marches; a small boat is hidden in the reed at the bottom center. At the turn in the path, a willow tree bisects the center of the image. In the distance, on the left-hand side, a village can be seen amongst the marsh grass. A strong wind blows through the scene, shown by the branches of the tree and the travelers struggling with their hats and cloaks.
