Catalog note / 解説

Hiroshige (1797-1858) is recognised as one of the great masters of the landscape print. Most designs on the theme of the six famous Tama rivers depict contemporary scenes. In this series, however, the scenes are quite faithful to the original poems or events. This print shows the Tama river in Noda, Mutsu province (modern Aomori Prefecture), also known as the 'Chidori' (Plovers) Tama river. The scene of a noble lady viewing the river from the bank is combined with a poem, inscribed at the top right, by the priest Noin. Materials: Woodblock print on paper
