新規造掛永代橋往來繁華佃海沖遠望之圖(中の1枚)
Eitai Bridge, Newly Built and Busy with Traffic, with a Distant View of the Sea off Tsukuda (Center Panel)
Beyond a green lattice railing, a wide stretch of water opens up. Yellow boats float here and there on it, and in front, flowers of many colors are in full bloom.
About this print
Low greenery and rows of houses on the far shore stretch across beneath the red sky. In front of them lies wide water dotted with boats large and small. In the lower half is a green lattice railing, where people dressed in navy, black and red come and go. Along the very bottom are clusters of pink and white flowers.
Of the three sheets that join side by side into one picture, this is the one in the middle. In 1875, when this print came out, Eitai Bridge had not yet become an iron bridge, and it stood farther upstream than it does today. When it was rebuilt in iron in 1897, it moved to its present site.
Turn to the yellow boats on the water: at the upper left, several of them are gathered together in a cluster, while from the middle to the right, they float apart, one by one.
