Description
The Sukiya Bridge (Sukiyabashi) crossing the outer moat of Edo Castle in Ginza — later demolished to build the expressway in the 1960s but immortalized in Audrey Hepburn's film "My Fair Lady" and countless literary references — appears at night in the fourth print of this set of six. The bridge at night, with the moat water reflecting the surrounding lights, was one of Ginza's most atmospheric views, the elegant span connecting the commercial district to the government quarter across the dark water.
