Description: From the set 'Famous Bridges in the Provinces set'. The set was originally published in about 1834, and all of its prints are signed Saki no Hokusai Iitsu Hitsu ("by the brush of Iitsu, formerly named Hokusai") in the block. There are eleven known prints in the series, each depicting, as the title indicates, a different famous bridge.

Travelers cross between the stone and wooden halves of Tsukumo Bridge in Echizen in a print featuring the deep blue pigments Hokusai's works are renowned for. Echizen is known for its high-quality hōshō paper, sheets of which can be seen drying in the background of this print. The crest of the original publisher of the print, Nishimuraya, is included on several pieces of luggage being carried by figures on the bridge.

This version is a post-war reproduction by Adachi Company.
