PURCHASE A LICENSE

Tokyo Showa 1930s Kobundo Nakamura Studio

The Senju-ohashi Bridge (千住大橋) over the Sumidagawa River in Tokyo, ca. 1930 (Showa 5).

The bridge was completed in 1927 (Showa 2), replacing an older bridge. In 1596, the Senju-ohashi Bridge was the first bridge to cross the Sumidagawa River.

From the postcard series The 16 Bridges of Tokyo (東京大十六橋).

Following the Great Kanto Earthquake (Kanto Daishinsai) of September 1, 1923 (Taisho 12), Tokyo celebrated the official completion of its earthquake reconstruction in March 1930. As part of the project, hundreds of bridges were built or reconstructed.

This series appears to have been published to coincide with the celebration.
