Artist

Katsushika Hokusai (1760~1849)

Japanese Woodblock Print  Name 

#005 - Hietsu no Sakai Tsurihashi in Etchu Province   (飛越の堺 つりはし 岐阜・富山) 

From Series - Rare Views of Famous Japanese Bridges

"Hietsu" refers to the old names of the provinces "Hida" (northern Gifu Prefecture)

and "Etchu" (Toyama Prefecture).

As you can see, the acrobatic suspension bridge is doubtful of its existence,

but Hokusai may have drawn it from his imagination based on people's folklore.

The scene of the deep mountains in late autumn, with wild geese flying,

is skillfully depicted.

Hokusai Series of Rare View of Famous Japanese Bridges  were reproduced

by Tokyo traditional woodcut craft Association

These traditional woodblock prints were reproduced exactly as the first edition

like a dream team in Japan.
