"Suspension Bridge on the Border of Hida and Etchu Provinces" (Hietsu no sakai tsuribashi) is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created during the Edo period, this print is part of Hokusai's famous series "Remarkable Views of Bridges in Various Provinces" (Shokoku Meikyo Kiran), which was produced around 1834. The series showcases Hokusai's fascination with bridges, not only as feats of engineering but also as aesthetically pleasing structures that harmonize with their natural surroundings.

The print depicts a vertiginous suspension bridge, known as the Vine Bridge (Kazurabashi), which spans a river gorge on the border of the Hida and Etchu provinces, an area now part of modern-day Gifu and Toyama Prefectures. The bridge is rendered with fine, delicate lines that convey its precarious nature, while the use of perspective emphasizes the depth of the gorge and the height of the bridge above the water.

In this composition, Hokusai masterfully balances the human figures traversing the bridge with the grandeur of the landscape. The travelers on the bridge appear small and vulnerable, which enhances the sense of scale and the natural beauty of the scene. The print is notable for its dynamic use of line and the contrast between the man-made structure and the rugged environment, a theme that resonates throughout Hokusai's landscape prints.

As part of Hokusai's oeuvre, "Suspension Bridge on the Border of Hida and Etchu Provinces" reflects the artist's innovative approach to landscape art and his enduring influence on both Japanese art and the broader art world. Hokusai's work, including this print, has been celebrated for its technical excellence and its ability to capture the essence of Japan's diverse and changing landscapes during a period of cultural flourishing.
