Bridge of the Brocade Sash at Iwakuni in Suo Province - Lovely woodblock showing the famous five-arched Kintai or Brocade Sash Bridge spanning the Nishikigawa or Nishiki River during winter. Snow gently falls over the blue river, blanketing the trees and rooftops. Beautiful shading in the water. An outstanding image that would make a wonderful framed presentation. Considered one of Hiroshige II's best designs.
