“Azuma Bridge from Komagatadō Temple,” from the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (Meisho Edo hyakkei, Komagatadō Azumabashi)
Utagawa Hiroshige Japanese
Uoya Eikichi Japanese
Not on view
Viewed from the Komagatadō temple in the lower left corner of the print, Azuma Bridge, also known the Great Bridge, crosses the Sumida River in the distance at the left side of the print. A cuckoo is blown through the darkening sky by a gust of wind, and a red flag flaps from a pole cropped by the bottom edge of the picture. Hiroshige captures the turbulence that occurs just before a rain shower.
