Description

A farmer and his wife cross a high suspension bridge in one of the most dramatic and beautiful prints in this series by Hokusai. The altitude of the bridge is highlighted by the clouds and birds flying below, making the mountains appear to float in midair. The deep blue pigment used to print some sections of the mountains is a highlight of the print.
