吾妻橋隅田川向島線

タイトルは「（近景の）吾妻橋（より）（遠景の）隅田川（と）（首都高）向島線（を臨む）」という意味です。広重の「名所江戸百景」第三十九景「吾妻橋金龍山遠望」をヒントに、広重の構図とは逆方向で隅田川の対岸から西側を臨んだ作品。隅田川を主題に、広重の時代にはなかった首都高や東京スカイツリーが描かれています。

Inspired by Utagawa Hiroshige

The title means "(from) the (near) Azumabashi (overlooking) the (far) Sumida River (and) (Metropolitan Expressway) Mukojima Line". Inspired by Hiroshige's "Azumabashi Kinryuzan enbo", No.39 from "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo", this work faces the west from the opposite bank of the Sumida River in the opposite direction of Hiroshige's composition. By drawing in this way, it is possible to draw the Metropolitan Expressway and the Tokyo Sky Tree, which were not in the Hiroshige era, while focusing on the Sumida River.
