（日本橋夜景）

This print presents a night view of Nihonbashi, the central bridge of Edo-period Tokyo from which all road distances in Japan were historically measured. By the early Meiji period, Nihonbashi had become a site of modernization—surrounded by new mercantile buildings, lit by gas lamps, and traversed by a mix of rickshaws and Western-style vehicles—making it an ideal subject for Kiyochika's kōsen-ga approach. The night scene likely depicts gas lamp glow reflecting on the Nihonbashi River below the bridge, with the stone balustrades and tall bridge posts rendered in sharp silhouette against the illuminated water surface. The artificial lighting of Meiji Tokyo's new commercial district—brighter and more localized than moonlight—required Kiyochika to develop more concentrated bokashi effects than those used in his open-air nocturnes. The print documents a specific historical moment in Tokyo's transformation from Edo to modern capital.
