「諸國名橋寄覧　東海道岡崎矢はぎのはし」|Yahagi Bridge at Okazaki on the Tōkaidō (Tōkaidō Okazaki Yahagi no hashi), from the series Remarkable Views of Bridges in Various Provinces (Shokoku meikyō kiran) — Katsushika Hokusai

A bridge built in a single immense arch balanced on wood piers spans the length of the composition. To be able to withstand floods, it passes high above a dark gray river bed veined blue with thin rivulets of water. Crowds crossing the brown and yellow bridge watch a group of archers shooting at a target in the distant river bed.
