Hokusai09 The Watermill at Onden (隠田の水車) / Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (富嶽三十六景) by Katsushika Hokusai


"Onden" is around Harajuku in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo today.

In old times, Harajuku, that is "City" now, was farm areas.

At that time, a lot of water mills existed in the beautiful Shibuya river.

Men who carry heavy bag with grain up to saw powder.

Women are washing.

Child is playing with turtle.

The life feeling with a stout farm village is expressed.

The expression of "Water" that begins to overflow from the water mill and flows to the waterway mightily is excellent.
