Mutamagawa senmen harimaze
Mutamagawa Senmen Harimaze
Six fans lie scattered across a single sheet of paper, each painted with a different scene.
About this print
The six fans partly overlap one another on the paper. On the fan at the upper left, a figure in a tall headdress rides a horse with attendants in tow, and on the fan at the middle right, two people raise wooden sticks over a low stand. The fan at the lower left shows a bamboo fence and reeds, with a flock of small birds flying above them.
Mutamagawa, the word in the title, is a name for six rivers called Tamagawa, in six different places, that were sung of in classical poems. The print was drawn by Katsushika Hokusai.
On the fan at the upper right, a thick clump of deep green foliage is drawn large, dotted all over with yellow. The same yellow dots are scattered among the trees on the horse fan at the upper left.
