"Drum Bridge at Kameido Shrine (Kameido Tenjin Taikobashi)" is a renowned woodblock print by the eminent Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created during the Edo period, this print is part of Hokusai's famous series "Remarkable Views of Bridges in Various Provinces" (Shokoku Meikyo Kiran), which was produced around 1830. The series showcases Hokusai's fascination with bridges, depicting them not merely as feats of engineering but as integral elements of the Japanese landscape, imbued with cultural and aesthetic significance.

The print captures the distinctive drum-shaped bridge of the Kameido Tenjin Shrine, located in the Kameido district of Edo (modern-day Tokyo). This shrine, dedicated to the Shinto deity of learning, Sugawara no Michizane, was a popular destination for pilgrims and visitors, particularly during the Edo period. The bridge, with its steep arch and reflection in the water below, creates a circular form reminiscent of a drum, which is where it derives its name.

Hokusai's work is characterized by his masterful use of perspective and curvature, drawing the viewer's eye across the composition. The print is notable for its intricate details and the use of Prussian blue, a pigment that had recently been introduced to Japan from Europe, which Hokusai employed to create a vivid and enduring image. The tranquil setting is animated by figures crossing the bridge and admiring the surrounding wisteria, which were celebrated for their beauty and were a common subject in Japanese art and poetry.

"Drum Bridge at Kameido Shrine" is not only a testament to Hokusai's skill as an artist but also serves as a historical record of the architectural and cultural landscape of Japan during the Edo period. The print remains an important work within Hokusai's oeuvre and continues to be celebrated for its artistic merit and its contribution to the ukiyo-e genre.
