Description

A print depicting Tamagawa in Musashi Province — one of the several rivers known by the name "Tama River" in the Tokyo region, celebrated for its scenic beauty and its associations with classical poetry. The Tamagawa rivers were among the most beloved landscape subjects in the Tokyo area, their clear water, sandy banks, and views of surrounding mountains making them destinations for seasonal excursions. Chikanobu's landscape depicts the river's characteristic combination of natural scenery and human recreational activity.
