Description

woodblock print, from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjurokkei), signed Hokusai aratame Iitsu hitsu (Brush of Iitsu, changed from Hokusai), published by Nishimuraya Yohachi (Eijudo), circa 1832, blue outline

Horizontal oban: 26 x 37.9 cm, 10¼ by 14⅞ in.

The broad arc of the Mannen Bridge at Fukagawa spans the Onagawa River. Several people lean over the bridge handrails : on one side, peering down at the boats passing below and a fisherman perched on a cluster of rocky outcrops; on the other, gazing toward the distant snow-capped summit of Mount Fuji. The bridge connects two parts of the Fukagawa district: the timber-framed houses of Fukagawa to the right and those of Fukagawa Kiyomizu to the left. Beyond, the Onagawa meets the Sumida River, behind which lies the entertainment and pleasure district of Nakasu.

Another impression of the same print is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The MET), accession number JP1332, go to:
