wall description:
Running through Edo, the Ohashi Bridge was one of 300 bridges that crossed the Sumida River. Published about a year before Hiroshige’s death, this print design illustrates the artist’s mastery of capturing atmospheric conditions. Figures scurry across the bridge amid slanting sheets of rain.
