The Floating World

Remarkable Views of Bridges in Various Provinces (Shokoku meikyō kiran)

The Arched Bridge at Kameido Tenjin Shrine

Kameido Tenjin Taikobashi

Katsushika Hokusai · c. 1830

それは何か

A steep drum bridge arches over the pond at the Kameido Tenjin shrine in Edo, with visitors climbing it.

なぜ重要か

The taikobashi, or drum bridge, is named for its high round arch, and Hokusai draws it almost as a half-circle.

注目すべき点

The bridge’s curve and its reflection in the water nearly close into a full circle.

A bridge built so steep you have to climb it.

摺りについて。 A horizontal ōban, about 26 by 38 cm on the Met record. The bridges are drawn in fine, exact lines against broad fields of colour, and a clean impression keeps every plank and rail distinct. This is the largest clean open impression of the design the Met holds. 摺りによる違いは実在します——拭き取りや退色は一枚ごとに異なり、公開コレクションの中から最良の一枚を選ぶことこそ、当店の学芸的な仕事です。
