Description

woodblock print, from the series Remarkable Views of Bridges in Various Provinces (Shokoku meikyo kiran), signed Saki no Hokusai Iitsu hitsu (Brush of Iitsu, the former Hokusai), censor’s seal kiwame (approved), published by Nishimuraya Yohachi (Eijudo), circa 1834, 2nd state; with collector's seal of Gerhard Pulverer to verso

 

Horizontal oban: 37.5 cm x 25.7 cm., 14⅜ by 10⅛ in.

Gerhard Pulverer (b. 1930)

Measuring 1,248 feet, the Yahagi Bridge was the longest bridge along the Tokaido [lit. 'East Sea Road'], the highway connecting Edo and Kyoto. In this composition, a bustling crowd of pedestrians, porters, and horsemen cross the bridge's dramatic arch. On the riverbed below, cloth and umbrellas have been laid out to dry, while a group of samurai have commandeered the open space as an improvised archery range a short distance away.
