Full description

Here in this Ink on Silk, much like in the Hodogaya (Shinkame Bridge) print, you again see the less sophisticated use of perspective. Although wonderfully composed and done in the more formal Shogunal style like the Tendro Hiroshiges, you can see his early use of perspective following that layered rectilinear use of diminishing the subject into the vanishing point.
