"Maple Trees at Mama Tekona Shrine and Linked Bridge" (Japanese: 真間の椛 鐵砲橋) is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Created in the mid-19th century, this print is part of Hiroshige's famous series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (Japanese: 名所江戸百景 Meisho Edo Hyakkei), which was published in serial form between 1856 and 1858. The series depicts a variety of scenes from Edo (modern-day Tokyo) and its environs, showcasing the beauty of landscapes and the everyday life of its inhabitants during the Edo period.

"Maple Trees at Mama Tekona Shrine and Linked Bridge" specifically captures the scenic beauty of the Mama Tekona Shrine and the Teppo Bridge in the Mama area of Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture, which was a popular destination for excursions outside Edo. The shrine was known for its maple trees, which provided a vibrant display of autumnal colors, attracting visitors who sought to enjoy the seasonal foliage. The Teppo Bridge, also known as the "Linked Bridge," was a distinctive wooden bridge that spanned the Edo River, further enhancing the picturesque quality of the scene.

Hiroshige's print is characterized by his masterful use of color and composition, with the maple trees rendered in rich reds and oranges, contrasting with the cool blues of the river and the sky. The perspective of the bridge invites the viewer's eye into the depth of the landscape, while figures on the bridge and near the shrine add a human element to the natural setting. The print reflects Hiroshige's skill in capturing the transient beauty of nature and the harmonious coexistence of the built and natural environments.

As with many of Hiroshige's works, "Maple Trees at Mama Tekona Shrine and Linked Bridge" has been celebrated for its artistic merit and historical significance. It provides insight into the cultural practices of the Edo period, such as the appreciation of seasonal changes, and contributes to Hiroshige's legacy as one of the last great masters of the traditional ukiyo-e genre. The print remains an important work within the history of Japanese art and continues to be admired for its aesthetic qualities and its evocative portrayal of a bygone era.
