Description: This print is from "Famous Places of the Province", published by Kaiseisha in 1981. It consists of 19 prints from two series by Katsushika Hokusai: 11 prints from "Famous Bridges in the Provinces" and 8 prints from "A Tour of Waterfalls".

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.

There are a few slight foxing spots at the bottom.
