Tenman Bridge in Settsu Province

Sesshū Tenmanbashi

Katsushika Hokusai · c. 1830 (date of the series; the Met record gives only the artist’s dates)

それは何か

The long Tenman Bridge in Settsu arches over a river crowded with festival boats, banners and lanterns.

なぜ重要か

Hokusai catches the bridge at festival time, with the river itself as the stage.

注目すべき点

The boats below are crowded with figures and decorations, and the bridge rises above them in a gentle curve.

A city’s great day happens on the water, under the bridge.

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。
