The Floating World

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

Old View of the Boat-bridge at Sano in Kōzuke Province

Kōzuke Sano funabashi no kozu

Katsushika Hokusai · c. 1830

それは何か

A bridge of boats lashed side by side crosses the river at Sano in Kōzuke under snow, with travellers and horses picking their way over.

なぜ重要か

Like the Yatsuhashi sheet, its title calls it an old view, a place remembered as much as visited.

注目すべき点

The boats curve across the river in a long arc, and snow covers the banks and roofs.

In winter the bridge is a row of small boats holding hands.

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。
