Catalog note / 解説

This richly coloured 'uchiwa-e' (rigid fan print) design by Hiroshige shows Tago Bay in Shizuoka Prefecture. The bay is situated on the coast, almost due south of Mount Fuji. It is famous for its dramatic view of Japan's highest and most sacred peak. The 8th-century court poet Yamabe no Akahito immortalised Tago Bay in a famous poem. Materials: Woodblock print on paper
