Ochre roofs and brick-toned bridge work anchor the lower half, while indigo accents carry the eye along the railing. A red vertical cartouche sits at the edge and holds the characters 東海道五拾三次, 京, 三条大橋, and the artist's signature, 廣重.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe characters place the view on the Tokaido road, the route between Edo and Kyoto, and name the bridge itself. Travellers cross on foot: a figure in a conical hat walks alongside a figure in a yellow robe, a figure in red follows, and a palanquin waits at the far end. The bridge becomes a passage between journeys. The print also balances built structure against mountain and river, the balance between nature and human civilization that defines late Edo landscape art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOn the Kiss-Cut Stickers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA kiss-cut follows the outline of whatever it carries, so the edge traces the bridge and its cartouche rather than a rectangle. The print is composed around one passage, with the eye moving from one end of the bridge to the other, and the cut keeps that movement intact on whatever surface it is placed. Collectors of Japanese woodblock prints will recognise the Tokaido cartouche and the Hiroshige signature as the marks of an original from this series.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Sticker Space","offers":[{"title":"2\" × 2\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48289884405978,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWHRS-2X2-413","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2\" × 2\" \/ White","offer_id":48289884438746,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWHRS-2X2-414","price":2.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\" × 3\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48289884471514,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWHRS-3X3-413","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\" × 3\" \/ White","offer_id":48289884504282,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWHRS-3X3-414","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\" × 4\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48289884537050,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWHRS-4X4-413","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\" × 4\" \/ White","offer_id":48289884569818,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWHRS-4X4-414","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" × 6\" \/ Transparent","offer_id":48289884602586,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWHRS-6X6-413","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" × 6\" \/ White","offer_id":48289884635354,"sku":"TSS-STICK-TGWHRS-6X6-414","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/3949\/8646\/files\/utagawa-hiroshige-kyoto-sanju-ohashi-no-zu-ca-1838-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal-TSS-STICK-TGWHRS-2X2-414-alt-3.webp?v=1785656354","url":"https:\/\/thestickerspace.com\/products\/utagawa-hiroshige-kyoto-sanju-ohashi-no-zu-ca-1838-sticker-vinyl-kiss-cut-decal","provider":"The Sticker Space","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
