A Thousand Autumns, Ten Thousand Years on Tokiwa Bridge

Katsukawa Shunchō

Cleveland Museum of Art

A group of people dressed in traditional Japanese clothing are standing on a sidewalk. Most are women wearing kimonos and headwear. Some kimonos have patterns and designs; one woman on the right wears a black kimono with a white floral pattern. Three stone posts are behind the group; two are topped with ornamental balls. A low stone wall with a decorative top edge is on the right. The background includes a river, green hills, and mountains. A bridge is on the left; another structure with a tiled roof is on the right. Birds fly in the sky. The color palette is muted with black outlines and beige, pink, green, and black details. The scene is rendered in a Japanese woodblock print style.
