Formal title is "Sesshu Naniwa-bashi Tenjin-matsuri No Zu"

So many channels that used to flow in the heart of Osaka had been burried, so today's people couldn't imagine how deeply they were involved with channels. In the Edo era, most of transport seemed to be done by ship or boat, not only for products but also for people. The place around Old Naniwa-bashi seemed always crowded with boats to admire fireworks in the evening. The main event of Summer was Kawatogyo of Tenjin-matsuri, in which Omikoshi, a small shrine, put on a boat, goes down the river of Dojima.

Good condition, color and impression

Hiroshige II was a young print artist named Shigenobu, who married Hiroshige's daughter (either adopted or from his second marriage), Tatsu. Hiroshige intended to make Shigenobu his heir in all matters, but Tatsu and Shigenobu separated. Shigenobu nevertheless began using the name Hiroshige and so is known as Hiroshige II. Tatsu remarried another artist, named Shigemasa, who became Hiroshige's heir, as a fireman and in using his name; he is known as Hiroshige III. Neither Hiroshige II nor Hiroshige III achieved the level of success and recognition achieved by, and accorded Hiroshige.
