View of Suzume Bay at Kanazawa
Catalog note / 解説
This 'uchiwa-e' (rigid fan print) design by Hiroshige gives a view of Suzumegaura ('Swallow Bay'). The famous beauty spot is located in the Kanazawa area in Kanagawa Prefecture. Other views of this area suggest that Mount Fuji would have been visible from further out to sea in the direction of the rocky outcrop to the right. The roof-boat in which the three women are riding is similar to those that were used on the rivers and canals of Edo (modern Tokyo). What looks like a puff of smoke in the background is a net that the fisherman is casting into the sea. Materials: Colour print from woodblocks
