Fifty-three Stations on the Tokaido: Yahagi Bridge at Okazaki 東海道五拾三次之内　岡崎矢矧之橋とうかいどうごじゅうさんつぎのうち　おかざき　やはぎのはし

Description

現在の愛知県岡崎市にあたる。眼前を流れる矢矧川に架けられた矢作橋は、幕府によって架けられた東海道随一の大橋であった。東海道の名所をまとめた書籍である『東海道名所図会』には「長さ二百八間（約370メートル）…東海第一の長橋なり」とある。広重はこの大橋に大名行列の一行をずらりと並ばせることで、その長さをより一層強調したかったのであろう。対岸に姿を見せているのが、徳川家康が生誕したとされる岡崎城の天守閣である。
