These ferries were necessary especially due to the policy of the Tokugawa shōgun, which severely limited the construction of bridges and other infrastructure to facilitate internal traffic. The purpose was clearly military: to hinder the rapid movement of large masses of troops that could converge on Edo and threaten the power of the bakufu, the military government.\u003cbr\u003eOn the boat, the two sailors move in time with the shape of Fuji, each holding a long pole and balancing on a side plank. In the tub, four or more passengers are crammed together, having to endure a crossing that is anything but comfortable.\u003cbr\u003eAccording to Suzuki, the use of such ferries on the Ōi River survived until the late Meiji period, making Hokusai's representation both documentary and poetic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galleria Elena Salamon - Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Stampe Giapponesi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51979999019355,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0405\/8110\/3766\/files\/HokusaiOneHundredViewsofMountFuji90.jpg?v=1767372300","url":"https:\/\/www.elenasalamon.com\/en\/products\/hokusai-katsushika-cento-vedute-del-monte-fuji-n-90-1836-1847","provider":"Galleria Elena Salamon - Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Stampe Giapponesi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
