〔東都名所〕 〔芝赤羽橋之図〕(収載資料名:広重画帖)
A Japanese woodblock print from the Hiroshige picture album, made in Edo in the 1800s for a popular audience, showing a famous view of a bridge in the capital. The scene shows a wooden bridge with a railing crossed by travellers and carriers in the foreground, with a hillside of dark trees, low roofs and a waterway behind; a designer could draw on its flat colour areas, layered depth from foreground to hill, and the rhythm of figures crossing a diagonal span.
