（大川岸一の橋遠景）

This print renders a distant view of Ichinohashi Bridge along the Ōkawa (Sumida River) embankment. Kiyochika composed many of his early Meiji Tokyo views as wide horizontal prospects in which bridges recede into haze or atmospheric murk, transforming familiar infrastructure into studies in aerial perspective. Here the span appears small against the breadth of the river and sky, conveying the scale of the waterway that defined eastern Edo. His characteristic bokashi gradation softens the horizon, and the reflections of light on the river surface—rendered in pale pigment wiped or burnished into the block—give the water a glassy, luminous quality distinct from earlier ukiyo-e treatments. The print is part of Kiyochika's sustained documentation of the Sumida River corridor as Tokyo underwent rapid modernization in the 1870s and 1880s.
