The Floating World

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

Ancient View of Yatsuhashi in Mikawa Province

Mikawa no Yatsuhashi no kozu

Katsushika Hokusai · c. 1834

それは何か

A plank bridge zigzags across a marsh at Yatsuhashi in Mikawa, travellers cross it, and mist lies over the water.

なぜ重要か

The title calls it an ancient view: a place already old in memory when Hokusai drew it.

注目すべき点

The bridge turns back and forth in sharp angles, and the travellers on it follow every turn.

A bridge that refuses to go straight.

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。
