EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Hokusai takes us back in time to the old view of the Pontoon Bridge at Sano in Kōzuke Province. The scene is set amidst a snowy landscape, with a bridge made of boats held together by cables gracefully curving along the Tone river. A charming cottage stands on the right, adding to the picturesque atmosphere. In this tranquil winter setting, four travelers can be seen crossing the bridge. One of them is mounted on horseback, while others walk alongside. The horses' breath creates small puffs of steam in the cold air, adding a touch of life to this serene scene. Hokusai's attention to detail and mastery of color shines through in this woodblock print. The soft hues used for depicting snow-covered trees and distant mountains create a sense of depth and tranquility. Every brushstroke seems deliberate and purposeful. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to an era where nature played an integral role in people's lives. It reminds us that even amidst harsh winters, there was still beauty to be found – whether it be in the form of a simple wooden bridge or footprints left behind by travelers. This print serves as both a historical document capturing life during that time period and as an exquisite piece of art that continues to captivate viewers today.
