Catalog note / 解説

Hirokage was a pupil of the renowned 19th-century painter and printmaker Utagawa Hiroshige and, like him, worked in the genre of <i>ukiyoe</i> - ‘pictures of the floating world’. In this print the human and comical content is more important than the view itself. The gusting wind sweeping through the city throws travellers on a bridge into complete disarray. Materials: Woodblock print on paper
