"Drum Bridge and Setting Sun Hill at Meguro" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. It is one of the prints from his famous series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," which was created between 1856 and 1858, during the Edo period of Japan. This series is considered one of Hiroshige's greatest achievements and depicts a variety of scenes from the bustling city of Edo, known today as Tokyo.

The print captures a tranquil and picturesque scene at Meguro, a suburb of Edo. It features the distinct silhouette of a drum-shaped bridge, known as the Taikobashi, which spans across the Meguro River. The bridge leads to the Yūten-ji Temple and is a focal point of the composition. In the background, the print shows the gentle slope of a hill, referred to as "Setting Sun Hill" or "Yūhi-no-oka," which was a popular spot for viewing the setting sun. The hill was part of the Meguro Fudō Temple grounds and was celebrated for its cherry blossoms and autumn leaves.

Hiroshige's use of color and perspective in this print is notable, with the warm hues of the sunset sky contrasting against the cool tones of the landscape. The artist's ability to evoke a sense of atmosphere and his attention to the changing seasons and light conditions are evident in this work. "Drum Bridge and Setting Sun Hill at Meguro" is not only a fine example of Hiroshige's artistic skill but also serves as a historical record of the topography and cultural practices of Edo during a time of significant change and modernization in Japan.

The "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" series was published by the firm Uoya Eikichi and has been influential in the development of Japanese landscape art. It has also had a profound impact on Western artists, particularly the Impressionists, who were inspired by Hiroshige's compositions and visual techniques. Today, "Drum Bridge and Setting Sun Hill at Meguro," along with the other prints from the series, is highly regarded by collectors and scholars of Japanese art and continues to be celebrated for its aesthetic beauty and historical significance.
