〔江都名所〕 両国橋〔納涼〕(収載資料名:広重画帖)

広重 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from Hiroshige's sketchbook of famous Edo sights, showing the Ryogoku Bridge over the Sumida River with boats and people on the water in the evening. The strong diagonal of the long bridge, its trestle piers, and the crowded boats below give a designer a clear model for dramatic perspective and layered composition.
