Suidobashi and Surugadai, from the Series One Hundred Scenic Spots of Edo 名所江戸百景　水道橋駿河台めいしょえどひゃっけい　すいどうばしするがだい

Description

本郷台地から神田川に架かる水道橋越しに駿河台の町を見下ろしている。駿河台の名は、徳川家康とともに駿河（現在の静岡市）より移住した家臣が居を構えたことに由来する。端午の節句の大きな鯉のぼりが手前にくの字に曲がって翻っている。奥に広がる屋敷の方々で吹き流しや幟旗、魔除けの鍾馗の幟が見られるが、これらは武家の習わしで、鯉のぼりを上げるのは町人の文化であった。遠景には5月の澄み切った富士の姿が見える。
