A procession of men in blue coats carrying long poles over their shoulders files along a raised path through the rice fields in the foreground, past a thatched shelter at the right. Beyond, the tiled roofs of Senju line the middle distance, and a white Fuji rises above the far hills and water. The print is one of the ten additional views Hokusai added to his Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, published around 1830–1832 by Nishimuraya Yohachi (Eijudō), and like the others it is printed with black outlines. The title refers to the pleasure quarter at Senju, a post town on the roads north of Edo, though the picture itself shows the road and fields. The long line of marching figures leads the eye across the sheet; impressions vary in colour and condition.
This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
Soft greens and blues with a line of figures in indigo and a white Fuji, for a study, hallway or home office at 16×24 in natural wood. It pairs with Senju in Musashi Province for two views at Senju.
