Asakusa River, Great Riverbank, Miyato River - A fantastic view from the Ryogoku Bridge in the summer. In the foreground, just visible, are the heads of Mount Oyama pilgrims, packing the bridge. Prior to their journey to the sacred mountain, they ritually cleansed themselves in the Sumida River. The celebratory decorations of the ritual visible in the foreground. The streamers printed in a lovely oxidizing ink. A terrific, dramatic print and an excellent example of Hiroshige's "100 Views of Edo" series.
