Tokyo | Showa | 1920s | Nisseido Publishing Studio |
Streetcars and other traffic cross the Nihonbashi Bridge in Tokyo. The photographer was pointing his camera to the south. During the Edo Period (1600-1867), Nihonbashi Bridge was the starting point of the famous Tokaido and the other 4 post roads. The stone bridge with bronze lions and wrought-iron gas lamps on this image replaced the wooden one in 1911 (Meiji 44). It was designed by Yorinaka Tsumaki (妻木頼黄, 1859-1916). Now hidden below an ugly highway, it is one of only two surviving Meiji-era bridges in Tokyo. |
