Japanese Woodblock Print  Name 

#001 - Kintai Bridge in Suho Province   (すいほうの国 きんたいばし 山口) 

From Series - Rare Views of Famous Japanese Bridges

"Suho no Kuni" refers to the old name of the southern part of Yamaguchi Prefecture,

 "Suo" (the northern part was Nagato).

Kintaikyo Bridge is known as one of the three most unusual bridges in Japan

and is visited by many tourists.

The unique shape of the bridge makes it an attractive subject for painting,

but there is no mountain behind it,

so it may have been painted based on legend or imagination.

by Tokyo traditional woodcut craft Association

These traditional woodblock prints were reproduced exactly as the first edition

at Edo-Tokyo Museum have by many of top skilled craftsmen

like a dream team in Japan.
