解説かいせつ

Utagawa Hiroshige
1857

Because the foam of waves was called “wave flowers,” this print, which is the flowers of the Snow, Moon, and Flowers trio, depicts a whirlpool in the Naruto Strait. The landscape as viewed from Ōgejima Island. Awaji Island is rendered in an exaggerated form on the upper right part of the left print of the triptych. Hiroshige reportedly crossed to Kuki in Shikoku in 1837, but it is not certain that he went to Awaji Island.
