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".

People stop to enjoy the view of sakura trees in full bloom on the banks of the Katsura River in this print of the Togetsu Bridge by Hokusai. A temple can be seen nestled between mountains in the background, and the "linear" style of the clouds is reminiscent of the depictions of clouds in traditional nara-ehon books and scrolls. The mountains have been printed in such a way that the sakura trees stand out from the print, making them appear heavily laden with white and pink blossoms.
