新大橋(日本橋區と深川區の堺)

Shin-Ohashi (Border of Nihonbashi and Fukagawa Wards)

Shin-Ohashi, Tokyo · Meiji era

Standing firm on its many wooden legs, a long bridge crosses the river. Past the boat in the foreground, the low bridge draws a single line all the way to the far shore.

About this photo

A boat lies along the near bank, and beyond it, a long bridge spans the whole width of the broad river. The bridge is low, and its rows of legs grow finer toward the back right as they continue to the distant bank. The sky is white and bright, and the water shines, reflecting it.

The title is "Shin-Ohashi" (新大橋), and the location note reads "border of Nihonbashi and Fukagawa Wards" (日本橋區と深川區の堺). Shin-Ohashi was built in 1693. At the time, Ryogoku Bridge was called the "Ohashi" (Great Bridge), so this one, the next to be built, was named "Shin-Ohashi" (New Great Bridge).
