Panoramic Views of Both Banks of the Sumida River at a Glance (Ehon Sumidagawa ryōgan ichiran) : [volume 2]
A Japanese woodblock picture book by Katsushika Hokusai, published in Osaka in 1801 by Maekawa Zenbei, presenting the Sumida River's banks to general readers. The pictures show double-page panoramas of riverboats, bridges, and riverside townspeople, with brief poem inscriptions set above the scenes; a designer might take their long horizontal compositions, layered planes of water and shore, and crisp outline-and-flat-colour printing.
