Sukiya-bashi — the "Sukiya Bridge" in central Tokyo, near the Ginza — is rendered in Hiratsuka's direct woodblock as a city landmark. The bridge over the outer moat of the Imperial Palace grounds was a significant Tokyo reference point for much of the 20th century before road construction buried the moat section. The undated print belongs to his Tokyo documentation series.
