Landscape with Travellers on Bridge Okumura Masanobu (Japanese, 1686-1764). Landscape with Travellers on Bridge, ca. 1730-1735.

It is from an Eight Views series depicting sites in Japan’s Shiga Prefecture—formerly known as Omi—just east of Kyoto. This composition locates the “fishing village at sunset” motif in the town of Seta, which was famous for its very long bridge. The image is far quieter and more poetic than most prints designed by Okumura Masanobu, who was better known for his satirical depictions of urban life. Asian Art ca. 1730-1735
