The Suspension Bridge on the Border of Hida and Etchū Provinces

Katsushika Hokusai

Painted

c. 1830

Collection

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

From the series "Remarkable Views of Bridges in Various Provinces": two travellers with loads cross a suspension bridge slung over a deep gorge. The sagging curve of the bridge, the clouds beneath and the layered mountains beyond make the dizzy height real, and the birds flying below their feet drive it home.
