Kuramaebashi Bridge (蔵前橋) over the Sumidagawa River in Tokyo, ca. 1930 (Showa 5). Completed in 1927 (Showa 2), the bridge is located next to the Ryogoku-bashi Bridge. It is called Kuramae (in front of the warehouses) because a row of Kura storage buildings, where rice received as tax payment was stored, stood here during the Edo period (1603–1868). 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. |
