"Nihonbashi in Chuo Ward, Tokyo" by Hokusai

Nihonbashi is approximately twenty-eight ken in length (about fifty meters according to "Edo Meisho Zue"). The bridge is constantly bustling with people coming and going, while beneath it, boats are entering and leaving throughout the day, filling the area with noise and activity.
This illustration depicts the warehouses lined up on both banks using perspective drawing.
In the foreground, Nihonbashi is depicted, with the Isshiki Bridge in the distance, Edo Castle above it, and Mount Fuji to the left.
The bridge's handrails are adorned with ornamental balls.
On the bridge, there are various items such as large carts loaded with goods, carrying poles, and timber.
People are busily walking, carrying loads and unloading them, making it seem as if the day has just begun.

Hokusai Katsushika : 
Known simply as Hokusai, was a Japanese Ukiyo-e artist of the Edo period, active as a painter and printmaker. 
He is best known for the woodblock print series Thirty six views of Mt Fuji, which includes the iconic print The Great Wave Off Kanagawa. Hokusai was instrumental in developing Ukiyo-e from a style of portraiture largely focused on courtesans and actors into a much broader style of art that focused on landscapes, plants, and animals. His works are thought to have had a significant influence on Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monete during the wave of Japonism that spread across Europe in the late 19th century.

REPRODUCTION : In the 20th century, artists and publishers collaborated to recreate famous woodblock prints, providing them to Japanese collectors and Westerners seeking rare designs.
New blocks were made, and artisan printers painstakingly printed each color using the same method as the 19th-century originals.
