日本橋雪晴

広重の「名所江戸百景」第一景（最初）「日本橋雪晴」と同じ構図で現代の日本橋を描いた同じタイトルの作品です。オリジナルと同じく正月（1月1日）の雪晴れの風景を描いています。江戸時代は近景に日本橋川と日本橋、遠景に江戸城と富士山が描かれていましたが、現代では近景に首都高が架かり遠景に皇居があります。富士山は変わらず私たちの生活を見守っています。

Inspired by Utagawa Hiroshige

This is the same composition and same title as Hiroshige's "Nihonbashi Yukibare (Snowy Clear View of Nihonbashi)", No.1 (first) from "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo", depicting present-day Nihonbashi. This is the same New Year's Day (January 1) snow-clear view as the original.

In the Edo period, the Nihonbashi River and Nihonbashi Bridge were depicted in the near view and Edo Castle and Mount Fuji in the distant view, but today, the Metropolitan Highway is in the near view and the Imperial Palace is in the distant view. Mount Fuji still watches over our daily lives.
