歌川広重「甲陽猿橋之図」
The Monkey Bridge in Kai Province

The Monkey Bridge in Kai Province

"The Monkey Bridge in Kai Province" is a beautiful vertical diptych by Hiroshige. Hiroshige made a trip to Kofu in 1841. His account of this trip, entitled Kofu-ko-Nikki(Diary During a Trip to Kofu), still exists. This diary contains an article under the date of April 4th: "I hired a horse from Inume to Kami Torisawa, a distance of 3.2 miles. Dismissed the horse at Torihashi, and walked to the Saruhashi Bridge. All the way for the distance of 1.7 miles, the mountains of Kai Province flanked the road far and near; mountains were high and the gorge was deep; the stream of the River Katsura was Clear and beautiful. The fascinating sceneries, appearing one after anothe at every ten or twenty steps, were beyond description. My poor brush fails to depict them." The statement is accompanied by a sketch drawing of the Saruhashi.

Hiroshige was born in 1797, the time when Ukiyo-e was at the height of popularity. He was good at painting since his childhood. At fifteen, through introduction of a certain book dealer, he became a pupil of Utagawa Toyohiro, and was given the artist name Utagawa Hiroshige the following year. The essential characteristic of Hiroshige’s art lies in its poetic atmosphere, which in fact is the characteristic of the Japanese heart. When this lyricism is given free play, there is beautiful music in the picture.
