Sukiya-bashi — the Sukiya Bridge — appeared in Hiratsuka's "Recollections of Tokyo" series as a landmark of the city's Taisho and early Showa cityscape. The 1930 color woodblock renders the bridge over the Imperial Palace moat with the colorist sensibility of his urban series, the water's surface and sky giving the architectural subject an atmospheric softness. The bridge's oblique angle across the moat creates a compositional diagonal.
