Other Notes:
This bridge over the Kamo River was the last print in Hiroshige’s “tokaido gojusan tsugi”. Kendall Brown reports in his book “Shin-Hanga” that Goyo is somewhat honoring Hiroshige with this print as he used the same scene, only reversed, looking east instead of looking west.    
Condition:
Very good condition other than: Faint glue stains on reverse top corners with slight bleed through to the front; two small brown spots on reverse with one showing on the front in the water near the right most set of bridge piers.
