Description: This print is from "Famous Places of the Province", published by Kaiseisha in 1981. It consists of 19 prints from two series by Katsushika Hokusai: 11 prints from "Famous Bridges in the Provinces" and 8 prints from "A Tour of Waterfalls". The prints are slightly larger than o-ban prints, giving them a more powerful impression.

This print depicts the fall of Aoigaoka, which is located around Toranomon in the current Minato Ward. Unfortunately, that area has become a landfill and the waterfall does not exist anymore. The variation in the patterns used for the three states of the water is very interesting.

There is a trace of glue removal at the top of the backside.
