Shoson, Snow on Willow Bridge

"Gofun" overprinting throughout the design. "Two women with an umbrella cross a bridge over the river, Sumidagawa, in a heavy snowfall. This print illustrates the Yanagibashi ('the Willow bridge') over the river Kanda near its convergence with the Sumida. Independent landscape scenes are only a small group in Koson's work. This image, in its great simplicity and effective use of only a few colours, is one of his most beautiful designs. The original edition by Watanabe in 1927 numbering 300 copies. - CCC pg.159
