東京名所繁榮之内江戸橋之圖（右の1枚）
Edo Bridge, from Thriving Famous Places of Tokyo (Right Panel)
A large white ship floats on the river, and on the bridge in front, people with umbrellas and people in red kimono come and go. Against the sky stands a pole with small red flags.
About this print
Beyond the bridge, where people pass back and forth, a large ship with a long white hull floats on the river, with several small boats around it. White buildings line the far bank, and in the sky stands a pole with small red flags. On the bridge in front are people holding umbrellas and people in red kimono, and in the dark arch under the bridge, someone in a small boat can be seen.
This is the right-hand sheet of a three-sheet nishiki-e (multicolored woodblock print). Edo Bridge, named in the title, still crosses the Nihonbashi River today, and its name is on Chuo Ward's list of bridges.
Look closely at the bridge railing, and between the thick posts, hook-shaped ornaments line up in a long row, all facing the same way. That single row of pattern runs from one end to the other beneath the people's feet.
