東京開化三十六景 江戸橋あらめ橋

Edo Bridge and Arame Bridge, from Thirty-six Views of Modern Tokyo

Edo Bridge, Tokyo · Meiji era

Under a bridge that sweeps in a big arc floats a long boat full of people. Beyond the bridge stand white-walled buildings and pines, and pink clouds hang in a sky shaded in red.

About this print

A long boat carrying many people floats under a bridge that sweeps in a big arc. White railings line the bridge, and beyond it are white-walled buildings and full, rounded pine trees. Pink clouds hang in a sky shaded in red, and at the very bottom is deep blue water.

Of the two bridges named in the title, Edo Bridge still spans the Nihonbashi River. The Nihonbashi River branches off from the Kanda River near Suidobashi Station, flows through the heart of the city, past Otemachi and Nihonbashi, and joins the Sumida River near Eitai Bridge.

Peek into the round arched opening on the left of the bridge, and a single person is standing inside.
