Colorful woodblock print depicts a bustling scene on a bridge and adjacent road. The bridge, located at the top left, has a metal truss structure with a wooden deck. A large body of water separates the bridge from a shoreline on the right. A red sign with Japanese characters is at the top center. On the road below, people in traditional Japanese clothing are walking in various directions. Some carry baskets or boxes. A red and black horse-drawn carriage with a white canopy is on the road. A person pulls a rickshaw. In the background, green hills meet a pink and blue sky. Several boats are on the water. The scene is lively and detailed, capturing a moment in time in a Japanese city, likely Yokohama.
