About this print
A yellow woven hat flies through the air above the bridge. Someone carrying a load on their shoulder crosses the big bridge, which rests on two thick piers, and below it something yellow and black is about to fall. Between the piers the river and the far bank show through, and the yellow boat in front is crowded with people.
Yanagi Bridge (Yanagibashi) spans the mouth of the Kanda River, where it flows into the Sumida River. Because of where it stands, it became a hub for traffic on the water and for pleasure boating.
The hat flying through the air is pale yellow, crossed by many thin lines like a weave. The load of the person crossing the bridge on the left is done in much the same yellow.
