'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.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
