Artist

Katsushika Hokusai (1760~1849)

Japanese Woodblock Print  Name 

#06 - Fukagawa Mannen-bashi shita (Under Mannen Bridge at Fukagawa) 深川万年橋下

From Series - Thirty six Views of Mount Fuji

Fukagawa Mannenbashi Bridge is a bridge over the Onagi River in what is now Koto

 Ward, and Hokusai is known to have lived nearby for a period in his later years.

Perhaps for this reason, Hokusai has captured the entire bridge,

 which he must have seen many times in person, geometrically from the side,

and depicted in detail the various people passing by.

On the other hand, Hashimoto has shown the view of Mt. Fuji and the city as

if they were two different landscapes,

and has shown his penchant for fitting them seamlessly into the same painting.

This type of composition can also be found in Kawamura Minsetsu's

"Hashimoto" in "White Fuji," but this painting makes it even more realistic.

This series of Hokusai’s “Thirty Six Views of Mount Fuji” has been reproduced by

the Tokyo traditional Woodblock Print Association.

These traditional woodblock prints are produced by a contemporary dream team of many of the top skilled Japanese craftsmen, exactly as was the first edition at Edo-Tokyo Museum
