Nihonbashi bridge in Edo 

This woodblock print, "Nihonbashi bridge in Edo," by famed Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) depicts a vibrant scene of daily life in Edo (present-day Tokyo). The print showcases the bustling activity of the Nihonbashi bridge, a vital commercial hub, with merchants and travelers navigating the waters in boats. In the distance, Mount Fuji, a recurring motif in Hokusai's work, looms majestically over the cityscape. This piece reflects the artist's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the energy and spirit of Edo during the Edo period.
