新規造掛永代橋往來繁華佃海沖遠望之圖(右の1枚)
Eitai Bridge, Newly Built and Busy with Traffic, with a Distant View of the Sea off Tsukuda (Right Panel)
Against a sky painted red, a white-capped Mount Fuji floats into view. In front, pink flowers bloom, and people in black Western clothes and in kimono come and go.
About this print
Toward the right of the red sky rises Mount Fuji with its white peak. Across the middle, houses line the far shore and many boats float on the water, and in the center, the shape of a large white ship can be seen. The lower half is taken up by a green lattice railing and green ground, with pink flowers blooming in clusters at the lower left and the middle right.
Three sheets placed side by side make up one picture, and this is the sheet on the far right. Eitai Bridge, named in the title, spans the Sumida River and today links Shinkawa in Chuo Ward with Eitai in Koto Ward. First built in the Edo period, it has been rebuilt again and again, leading up to the bridge that stands today.
Trace the thin pole to the left of Mount Fuji from bottom to top. It pierces straight up through the red sky, and at its tip is a small, whitish round object.
