Very good impression and colour, a few minor creases in places, a few pinholes, a few small holes patched from verso and with associated touching-in, a few minor nicks to edges.

说明:Five travellers pause to gaze at the magnificent cascade of the Ono Waterfall on the Kiso River, near the post-station of Agematsu in Shinano Province (modern day Nagano Prefecture). Viewed from the left, the water appears to surge upward before tumbling down the rock face, while a light blue-grey mist coils around the steep cliff flanks. On a rocky promontory, a small building stands at the edge of the outcropping.
Hokusai included an illustration entitled 'Ono Waterfall, Shinano Province' in volume seven of Hokusai manga (Hokusai's Sketches, 1817). The gazetteer Famous Places on the Kisokaido (1805) illustrates this waterfall and identifies the small building to the lower left as the Ono Teahouse, and the structure at the centre as a shrine dedicated to Fudo Myoo, the Immovable Wisdom King, the deity particularly associated with waterfalls.
