Created by Hiroshige Utagawa II in 1875, this artwork offers a glimpse into the vibrant river life from Ryogoku Bridge. The central part of a triptych, this print showcases a true masterpiece of Japanese artistry. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to a world where rickshaws and horse-drawn carriages traverse the bridge with grace and elegance. The bridge itself stands as an architectural marvel, connecting both banks while cherry blossoms bloom delicately along its edges.
