"Moon Bridge at Kameido" is a woodblock by Helen Hyde that captures the evocative beauty of the depicted scene.
As a [shin-hanga](/glossary/shin-hanga) work, this piece reflects the movement's emphasis on collaboration between artist, carver, and printer to achieve technical refinement and atmospheric beauty. The woodblock technique allows for the characteristic interplay of precise line work and subtle color gradation that gives the image its distinctive presence. Dating to 1914, this work was created during a period of creative ferment in Japanese printmaking.
