In order to obtain a guide to design river landscape, this study examined the features of the composition in the river landscape paintings drawn by HIROSHIGE which is representative paintings in Japan. Analyzed indices is 'the position', 'the place', 'the width', 'the function', of the river, and 'the elements in the short distance landscape', 'the elements in the medium distance and long distance landscape' drawn along the river, and 'the ratio of the water surface', 'the degree of the look down', 'the inclination of the streem', which are the painter's visual features. We clalified the features of the composition by analyzing the correlation of the indices by using cross analysis. And we examined the greatly influence factor on the composition by using Hayashi Quantification Theory 3.
