Yokkaichi, Miegawa (Yokkaichi: Mie River)

Two travellers cross a bridge over the Mie River, one chasing his hat which has blown off in the strong wind; the other walking into the wind with his cape flapping behind him. In the distance on the left are the rooftops of the town of Yokkaichi. The pronounced bokashi to the traveller's cape is indicative of an early impression. For a similar impression in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, see accession no. 11.30167.
