# The Monkey Bridge, in 19th-century Japan

Katsushika Taito II designed this in the early 1830s. It is now at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

From the museum's label:

> Taito II, who studied with Hokusai, created this image of the Monkey Bridge in Kai Province, west of Tokyo. By depicting the moon beneath the narrow bridge, he emphasized the height of the gorge. Before it was given to the museum by one of its founders, Jeptha H. Wade, this print was trimmed.
