Mu Tamagawa no uchi
Very fine impression, colour and condition. Slightly trimmed at the bottom.
An Ōharame sitting on a bundle of firewood and leaning against a basket. In the background, the river with rippling waves and plovers (chidori) flying above. The Noda River was celebrated in a poem by the priest Nōin (988-?) mentioning the crying plovers in the evening when the salt wind gathers.
At the left Poems by Shōyōtei Aoki e Chōnintei Motoyori.
Others impressions of the print are in Rijksprentenkabinet- Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, and in the Museum für Ostasiatische Kunst, Berlin.
