The Floating World

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

The Hanging-cloud Bridge at Mount Gyōdō near Ashikaga

Ashikaga Gyōdōzan kumo no kakehashi

Katsushika Hokusai · c. 1830

それは何か

A small roofed bridge spans the gap between two peaks at Mount Gyōdō near Ashikaga, high above the clouds.

なぜ重要か

The hanging-cloud bridge is the most fantastic in the series, a footway strung between mountain tops.

注目すべき点

The bridge is tiny against the peaks, and cloud fills the valley beneath it.

Some bridges connect places, and some connect a person to the sky.

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。
