The Floating World

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

Tenpōzan at the Mouth of the Aji River in Settsu Province

Sesshū Ajikawaguchi Tenpōzan

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

それは何か

A small island with cherry trees and visitors sits at the mouth of the Aji River in Settsu, with boats moored alongside and a bridge crossing to it.

なぜ重要か

Hokusai shows Tenpōzan as a place for an outing, small and green at the edge of the river mouth.

注目すべき点

The island is round and tidy, almost toy-like, and the boats line up around its edge.

A small hill by the water is enough for a holiday.

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。
