Unknown title- XX Bridge — ?慶橋

This [oban](/glossary/oban) woodblock print depicts an unidentified bridge in Tokyo, with the partial Japanese characters 慶橋 suggesting a name ending in "-kei Bridge" or beginning with the character for "celebration." The uncertainty surrounding the title adds an element of detective work to the print's appreciation, as viewers and scholars attempt to match the depicted structure to surviving or documented bridges across Tokyo's many rivers and canals. Nouet documented numerous bridges during his decades in the city, and each crossing offered a distinct combination of architectural style, surrounding landscape, and water conditions. The bridge serves as both subject and viewing platform in Nouet's composition, providing geometric structure against the fluid backdrop of river and sky. Whatever its precise identity, the print contributes to Nouet's comprehensive visual survey of Tokyo's waterway infrastructure.
