The light pink color on the horizon indicates it\u2019s early morning and small figures can be seen walking along the river, perhaps beginning the day\u2019s activities. The carp banners are traditionally hung for Boy\u2019s Festival, on the fifth day of the Fifth Month. Each banner blows in a slightly different direction, showing that they are catching the morning breeze at different times. The frontmost carp stands out in the sharpest detail because of its thick shaded scales and bright blue eye. The symbol of the carp comes from the Chinese legend of the fish using its strength to leap up waterfalls. This metaphor was considered analogous to the challenges boys face when becoming warriors and could give some insight into the use of this print.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>References<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">National Museum of Asian Art: <a href=\"https:\/\/asia.si.edu\/object\/F1996.24\/\">https:\/\/asia.si.edu\/object\/F1996.24\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suid\u014d Bridge and Surugadai (Suid\u014dbashi Surugadai), No. 48 from the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brooklynmuseum.org\/opencollection\/objects\/121677\">https:\/\/www.brooklynmuseum.org\/opencollection\/objects\/121677<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Suid\u014d Bridge and Surugadai (Suid\u014dbashi Surugadai), No 48 from the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo&nbsp;Creator: Utagawa Hiroshige&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":2687,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[85,3,2,44],"class_list":["post-2686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-image","tag-freer","tag-japan","tag-print","tag-woodblock","wpcat-18-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/37"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2686"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2686\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2691,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2686\/revisions\/2691"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2687"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diluo.digital.conncoll.edu\/Asianart\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
