'Numazu Bridge in the Snow' - Hiroshige

                                 HPIM1117

Another print from Hiroshige's 'Tokaido' series -- this one from the 'upright Tokaido' series published in 1855, showing our travellers crossing the snow-covered bridge at Numazu.  The composition is simple -- almost stark -- but not static, with a winding path through the dominating landscape inviting our movement through it.
