Description
A long wooden bridge, supported by rows of crisscrossing wooden piers, arcs across a wide river and is crowded with tiny figures carrying umbrellas and parasols as they cross. Below, several cargo boats with furled or raised sails move through the blue water, poled and rowed by boatmen, while moored boats and thatched-roof houseboats line the far shore beneath a band of red sunset sky meeting pale cream above. Distant trees and rooftops edge the far bank on the right, and Japanese text and a red seal appear in the upper left corner.
