UTAGAWA HIROSHIGE (1797-1858) Yokkaichi, Miegawa (Yokkaichi: Mie River) Woodblock print, from the series Tokaido gojusan tsugi no uchi (The fifty-three stations of the Tokaido), signed Hiroshige ga, published by Takenouchi Magohachi (Hoeido), circa 1833-34 Horizontal oban: 10 x 14 7/8 in. (25.4 x 37.8 cm.)
Two travellers cross a bridge over the Mie River, one chasing his hat which has blown off in the strong wind; the other walking into the wind with his cape flapping behind him. In the distance on the left are the rooftops of the town of Yokkaichi. The pronounced bokashi to the traveller's cape is indicative of an early impression. For a similar impression in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, see accession no. 11.30167.
