Hokusai's Mannen Bridge at Fukagawa
Under the Mannen Bridge at Fukagawa, Katsushika Hokusai, c. 1830–1832. In the bustling Fukagawa district of Edo, now Tokyo, pedestrians cross an enormous arched wooden bridge while boats navigate the water below. A fisherman sits quietly on the riverbank, and Mount Fuji rises in the distance, framed between the bridge's supporting pillars.
The bridge spans the Onagi River near its junction with the much larger Sumida River, an important waterway for transporting people and goods throughout Edo.
The name Mannen-bashi translates approximately to “Ten Thousand Years Bridge,” an auspicious name suggesting extraordinary longevity.
