Two travellers cross a bridge over the Mie River, one chasing
his hat which has blown off in the strong wind; the other
walking into the wind with his cape flapping behind him.
In the distance on the left are the rooftops of the town of
Yokkaichi. The pronounced bokashi to the traveller's cape
is indicative of an early impression. For a similar impression
in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, see
accession no. 11.30167.
