亀戸天神境内
from the series 100 Famous Views of Edo 名所江戸百景
Located east of the Sumida River in the Kotō (East River) District, Kameido Tenjin Shrine has always been famous for its "drum bridge" and wisteria blossoms, although the currently existing bridge is made of concrete. Hiroshige highlighted both by bringing the blooms to the very front of the picture plane so that they droop down across the central span of the bridge. Visitors seated on a viewing platform on the far side of the pond can be seen through the high, semicircular arch.
