As they did in other collaborative projects, Hiroshige designed the landscape and Kunisada the figural components of this print. Hiroshige departed from earlier representations, here showing Nihon Bridge from the perspective of someone sitting in a boat on the water. In his design for the doll held by the small child in the foreground, Kunisada playfully referred to the standard bearers of a feudal procession departing Edo in the first print in Hiroshige's series Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido, on view in the Artist's Studio (Gallery F) of this exhibition.
