Description |
English: In Japan, an island country with many rivers, having to cross bodies of water made traveling difficult and sometimes hazardous during the Edo period. In this image, a fashionable woman is transported across the Oigawa River. Her impressive hat is strapped to the straw mat shade to protect it from bending. As a contrast to her relative comfort, the grimacing faces of her porters reveal their struggle. Their nakedness also seems to accentuate the social division.
Part of the series The 53 stations of the Tokaido in pairs(or "53 Parallels for the Tōkaidō Road"), a series of woodcuts composed by Hiroshige, Kuniyoshi and Kunisada and issued around 1845 by different publishers.. |
