Utagawa Hiroshige III

解説かいせつ

Utagawa Hiroshige III 1875 (Meiji 8) The composition of this picture, by situating the Sanjou Ohashi Bridge in front and the Higashi-yama Mountain in the back is similar to that of Hiroshige I. The man illustrated at the left edge on the bridge in a black uniform is a postman. When the postal service started in 1871, postman as illustrated in this picture delivered mails. The title came from a haiku poetry written by Hattori Ransetsu, who was a pupil of Matsuo Bashou (a great haiku poet from the early Edo period), and it expresses that the snow remains on top of Mt. Higashi-yama at the time of sunset looks like a sleeping man putting on a blanket.
