About the work
Katsushika Taito II, who studied with Hokusai, made this image of the Monkey Bridge in Kai Province, west of Tokyo, in the early 1830s. By placing the moon beneath the narrow bridge, he emphasised the height of the gorge. This impression was trimmed before it came to the museum; uncut versions include a poetic inscription designed to look like a rubbing from a stone stele.
Printed on 200 gsm museum-quality matte paper from the museum’s high-resolution open-access image, with a white border so nothing of the original is cropped. Available from A4 up to 70 × 100 cm, or as a digital download to print yourself.
