Nihonbashi-dori
Beyond a figure with a black umbrella, a street lined with houses runs straight into the distance. Nihonbashi-dori was the name of a neighborhood that the Tokaido ran right through.
About this photo
Large in the foreground is a figure holding a black umbrella. On the bright white ground, both the umbrella and the figure stand out sharply in black. Houses line both sides, and the street, busy with people coming and going, runs straight back, growing narrow in the distance. Above the rooftops, several thin poles rise high.
There was once a neighborhood called Nihonbashi-dori. In the Edo period, the Nihonbashi Bridge served as the starting point of the five main highways, and the Tokaido, which set out from it, ran right through this neighborhood. Because the highway was also called the odori, or "main street," the neighborhood came to be named Nihonbashi-dori.
