"Motoyanagibashi Ryogoku Enkei" (元柳橋両国遠景) is a woodblock print created by the Japanese artist Kobayashi Kiyochika (1847–1915), who is renowned for his blend of traditional Japanese and Western painting techniques. This print is part of Kiyochika's body of work that captures the transformation of Tokyo (then Edo) during the Meiji Restoration, a period when Japan was rapidly modernizing and opening up to Western influences after centuries of isolation.

The title of the print translates to "Distant View of Ryogoku Bridge from Motoyanagibashi," and it depicts a scene along the Sumida River, with the Ryogoku Bridge in the background. The Motoyanagibashi was an old bridge that once spanned the Sumida River, and the print offers a view from this vantage point, showcasing the bustling activity and the changing landscape of Tokyo during the late 19th century.

Kiyochika is often referred to as the "Meiji ukiyo-e artist" because he documented the era's transition through his prints. His work is characterized by the use of light and shadow, a technique influenced by Western art and photography, which was still relatively new in Japan at the time. "Motoyanagibashi Ryogoku Enkei" is a testament to Kiyochika's skill in capturing the essence of a moment in time, blending the old and the new, and providing a historical snapshot of a city in flux.

This print is significant not only for its artistic value but also for its historical context, as it provides insight into the cultural and societal changes occurring in Japan during the Meiji period. It is a valuable piece for scholars studying Japanese art, history, and the impact of Westernization on Eastern societies.
