Search Help

  • Searching for multiple terms
    • AND search: If you enter more than one search term in the search box, your search will retrieve results that contain all those terms. For example, enter ‘Iraq Iran', to find all object records containing both ‘Iraq' and ‘Iran'.
    • OR search: If you want to search for either one term or another, enter your search terms separated by ‘or'. For example, enter ‘Japan or China' to find all object records containing either Japan or China.
  • Partial wordsearch
    • Enter your term followed by an asterisk (*). For example, entering ‘Islam*' would return results for all records containing words beginning with ‘Islam', such as ‘Islam', ‘Islamic', and ‘Islamabad'.
  • Searching is always case insensitive
    • For example, searching for ‘India' is the same as searching for ‘india'.
  • Searching for a specific word or phrase
    • Enter your term within double quotation marks (""). For example, to search for the term Abbasid period, enter "Abbasid period".
  • Excluding a termfrom your search
    • Enter the term you want to search for, then a minus or subtraction sign, followed by the term you wish to exclude from your search. For example, if you want to search for records with the term ‘stoneware' but exclude records with the term ‘green', enter ‘stoneware -green'.

Ejiri: Tago Bay and Miho no Matsubara

  • Description

    Tago Bay and the pine grove at Miho were among the most famous scenic spots on the Tōkaidō. Here Hiroshige shows fishing boats and nets drying on the shore in the foreground, while larger boats sail along the Okitsu River behind them. Hiroshige has included elements of Western perspective in this print, notably in the way that the boats decrease in size towards the horizon.
