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".

In the shape of half of a drum, this bridge is, of course, known as the "Taiko" ("Drum") bridge. Pedestrians cross the steep structure, stopping for a rest at the top, and a wisteria trellis not yet in bloom appears beside it.

There are a few slight foxing spots in the lower area.
