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". The prints are slightly larger than o-ban prints, giving them a more powerful impression.

Night begins to fall in Yōrō (present day Gifu Prefecture). Some weary travellers shelter from the spray of the 32 metre high Yōrō Waterfall in a small straw hut while two others remain outside and tip their heads back to admire the view. The travellers and hut seem so close to the tumultuous cascade that they are in danger of being swept away. The dark gray bokashi gradation in the background brings out the white spray at the bottom of the waterfall.

(Note the dimensions - this is a reproduction at slightly larger scale than the original version)

This print has slight foxing spots.
