The Floating World

Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)

Nihonbashi in Edo

江戸日本橋 · Edo Nihonbashi

Katsushika Hokusai · c. 1830–32

それは何か

White-walled warehouses line the canal from Nihonbashi, with Edo Castle beyond and Fuji over all of it.

なぜ重要か

Hokusai shows the city’s trade running along the water toward the mountain, and the bridge itself is reduced to a crowd at the bottom edge.

注目すべき点

The warehouses recede in a long, steep perspective, and the bridge is cut off at the foot of the sheet by a row of heads.

The heart of the city is a busy canal, and the mountain stands at its far end.

摺りについて。 The series sold well and was printed in large numbers. The first sheets lean on the newly imported Prussian blue, outlines included; later printings add colours and soften the key block. 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。

パブリックドメイン作品を忠実に復刻。
