Brocade-Sash Bridge at Iwakuni

Suō Iwakuni Kintai-Bashi

This is a newly-made reproduction of a very old Japanese woodblock print. This was made months ago, rather than centuries ago.

Original artist: Utagawa Hiroshige 歌川 広重 (1797–1858).
Original woodblock was created in Japan, around 1853-1856.


This comes from the series 六十余州名所図会 (Rokujū-Yo Shū Meisho Zue) which means "Pictures of Famous Places in the Sixty-Odd Provinces".

There are multiple phrases on the cartouches of this print that could be construed as titles. The one most used as the main title is:
周防岩国錦帯橋
Literally: Brocade-Sash Bridge at Iwakuni.
