Did You Know?

The Ohashi Bridge was one of 300 bridges that crossed the Sumida River.

Description

Published two years after the great earthquake and fire of 1855, this print design illustrates the newly rebuilt Great Bridge over the Sumida River in Edo (now Tokyo). The design shows Utagawa Hiroshige’s skill in capturing atmospheric conditions. People try to protect themselves from sudden sheets of rain as they cross the bridge in opposite directions. The Atake neighborhood is seen in the distance.
