Catalog note / 解説
This uchiwa-e (rigid fan print) design by Hiroshige depicts a group of women crossing the Togetsu Bridge in Arashiyama in northwestern Kyoto. The cherry trees for which the area is famous are in full bloom and among them we can see the small, but picturesque, Tonase Waterfall. The spit of land protruding from the left is the northern end of Nakanoshima, a narrow island that divides the Hozu river just before it veers south and changes name to the Katsura river. Materials: Woodblock print on paper
