Catalog note / 解説
Arashiyama is a well-known area in the north-western part of Kyoto. It takes its name from the small mountain we see here from the northern bank of the Hozu River. Boatmen pole rafts of logs towards the Togetsu Bridge on the horizon to the east. Arashiyama was only a short distance from the centre of Kyoto. People visited it all year round, as they still do today. It was particularly busy during the cherry blossom season and at maple-viewing time, as shown here in this 'uchiwa-e' (rigid fan print) design by Hiroshige. Materials: Colour print from woodblocks
