新規造掛永代橋往來繁華佃海沖遠望之圖（左の1枚）
Eitai Bridge, Newly Built and Busy with Traffic, with a Distant View of the Sea off Tsukuda (Left Panel)
Beyond a bridge bustling with people, boats with full white sails overlap one after another. A long horizontal label is set into the red sky.
About this print
The deck of the bridge and its green lattice railing spread across the foreground, crowded with people coming and going. Some wear red or yellow kimono, and some hold up what look like umbrellas. On the water in the middle, toward the right, boats with large white sails line up, and greenery and houses continue along the far shore.
Set side by side, three sheets form one picture, and this one sits at the far left. The Eitai Bridge that spans the Sumida River today was rebuilt after the Great Kanto Earthquake and completed in 1926. In 2007, it was designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan.
Look down to the very bottom, under the deck of the bridge, where thick posts and diagonal beams are framed together, with deep blue water spreading below. A single small, whitish boat peeks out there.
