越中国；浮橋（舟橋）
19th century
Hiroshige's 'Etchu Prefecture; Floating Bridge' is a stunning example of ukiyo-e, capturing a long, curving pontoon bridge stretching across a vast blue river. The bridge, made of connected boats, looks like a giant red spine arching over the water, leading travelers toward a distant village nestled at the foot of lush green mountains. Tiny figures can be seen crossing this precarious path, emphasizing the sheer scale of the landscape. This print is part of Hiroshige's famous series 'Sixty-odd Provinces of Japan,' showcasing his mastery of perspective and atmospheric depth that would later inspire Impressionist painters like Van Gogh.
