Matsue Ôhashi Bridge on a Snowstorm Night
Oda spent three years in Matsue, and this is an example of a snowy scene of Matsue Ôhashi Bridge, which he particularly enjoyed illustrating. This was produced after he returned to Tokyo, and the appearance of the town growing hazy in a violent snowstorm is illustrated impressively. The whiteness of the snow, gathering faint light amidst subdued colors, is an expression that leverages the distinct characteristics of lithography. The overhead composition, seen from a high position, even conveys the freezing coldness and stillness that encapsulate the town.
