The Moon Reflected on the Water by the Pier of a Bridge
Catalog note / 解説
The simple but well-balanced composition in this <i>uchiwa-e</i> (rigid fan print) design by Hiroshige is inscribed with a haiku (17-syllable poem) by Sakuragaoka Toshishige, whose signature and seal appear in the centre of the design. The poem reads: Kumorinaki Oya no megane ya Aki no tsuki (Unclouded Like a parent's understanding of its child The autumn moon.) The rib marks are evidence that the print was salvaged from use as a fan. Materials: Colour print from woodblocks
