東京開化三十六景 旧聖堂より萬世橋を見る
Mansei Bridge Seen from the Former Seido, from Thirty-six Views of Modern Tokyo
Beyond a rider seen from behind, a black fence and a blue river stretch away at a slant. Mansei Bridge was built as a stone arch bridge in 1873.
About this print
The figure in the left foreground wears a dark hat or hood and rides a brown horse with a red saddlecloth. Beyond the fence, a few small boats float on the river, and on the far bank stand a long yellow building and a white-walled one. Above them stretches a band of trees tinged red, and a single thin line runs diagonally across the pale sky.
Mansei Bridge spans the Kanda River. In the Edo period, this was the site of the Sujikai Gate, one of the gates in the outer defenses of Edo Castle, and of the Sujikai Bridge that went with it. In 1873, Mansei Bridge, a stone arch bridge, was built on that spot.
