東京開化三十六景 京橋煉化石造
Brick Buildings at Kyobashi, from Thirty-six Views of Modern Tokyo
A bridge with white railings runs straight across, in front of a street of cherry trees in bloom. There are figures in red and blue on the bridge, too.
About this print
Beyond the cherry blossoms, a long, whitish green building lined with what look like windows stretches diagonally from the right into the distance. In front of it stands something tall, narrow and reddish orange, and below the bridge, blue-green water is drawn with a fine wave pattern.
Kyobashi (Kyo Bridge), once made of wood, was rebuilt as a stone arch bridge in 1875, after the Great Ginza Fire, to match the brick streets. When the Kyobashi River was filled in between 1963 and 1965, the bridge was removed. The posts that once marked the ends of the bridge still stand, in Kyobashi 3-chome and Ginza 1-chome.
Look at the lower right corner and you'll find a figure in dark clothes standing in a small boat. Something yellow, perhaps cargo, sits in the boat as well. It's small and easy to miss if your eye stays on the white railings.
