The Carp and the Sky – Suidōbashi Surugadai
From One Hundred Famous Views of Edo by Utagawa Hiroshige, 1857
This bold ukiyo-e design captures a giant carp streamer (koinobori) soaring across the sky above Edo, seen from Suidōbashi. Framed by its pole, Mount Fuji appears in the distance — a stunning example of Hiroshige’s playful perspective.
On the left shoulder is a cream-colored crest of Kanda Myojin Shrine, one of Tokyo’s most important and historic Shinto shrines.
This small detail connects the artwork to the actual location, adding a layer of authenticity and Edo-period spirit.
🗾 A perfect wearable souvenir for Japan travelers, art lovers, or anyone exploring Tokyo’s cultural roots.
