1910.38: Okazaki, from the series Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō (Tōkaidō gojūsan tsugi)
PrintsThe long wooden bridge starts in lower right climbing upward towards the left middle of the print above a river. All the bridge travelers wear long robes of green or no color and wide brim hats, a few carry umbrellas. There’s a village with house tops amongst green pine trees and hills in the center, a temple structure in distance on the right. Salmon-pink, horizontal cloud forms are rendered above the bridge and around the mountain. Colors of the print include deep green, salmon-pink, yellow, and black. Calligraphy of various sizes is written at the top center and right.
