View of Suzume Bay at Kanazawa in Musashi Province
Catalog note / 解説
This 'uchiwa-e' (rigid fan print) design by Hiroshige shows a distant view of Mount Fuji. Suzumegaura ('Swallow Bay') in the foreground was one of numerous beauty spots in the Kanazawa area. Artists and travellers alike had celebrated the Kanazawa 'Hakkei' ('Eight Views of Kanazawa') since the early 17th century. They were popular with travellers from Edo (modern Tokyo) making the journey to Enoshima further to the west. Materials: Colour print from woodblocks
