Description
Shin Ohashi Bridge, from the Twenty Views of Tokyo published in 1926, depicts the Shin Ohashi — the "new great bridge" spanning the Sumida River at the Fukagawa crossing point — one of the Sumida's busiest bridges and the successor to the original Ohashi bridge made famous by Hiroshige's Sudden Shower over Ohashi series. The oban format and bokashi sky give the bridge composition the atmospheric depth suited to one of the Sumida's most historically resonant crossings, its modern iron structure visible against the wide river and the low eastern shore of Fukagawa.
