"Kasumigaseki" (original title: 霞がせき) is a woodblock print by the Japanese painter and illustrator Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) produced in January 1857.
A strong vertical composition depicts a bustling city street, dominated by a vast sky of varied hues. The street's linear perspective descends toward Tokyo Bay, softened by a powerful chromaticism. At the ends of the street are two daimyo houses: on the left, that of Asano from Hiroshima, and on the right, that of Kuroda from Fukuoka. Two large kadomatsu pines are found on either side. Dancers, a priest, and several samurai are visible. A kite with the symbol sakana ("fish") flies in the sky.
