"Nihon-bashi" is a renowned woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Created in the 19th century, this print is part of Hiroshige's famous series "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō," which depicts scenes along the Tōkaidō road, the major travel route connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto. The Nihon-bashi print, specifically, portrays the bustling atmosphere of the Nihonbashi bridge in Edo, which was the starting point of the Tōkaidō road.

In this composition, Hiroshige captures the vibrancy of the fish market and the daily activities around the bridge, with an array of pedestrians, fishmongers, and travelers. The print is characterized by its use of perspective, attention to detail, and the subtle gradation of colors—a technique known as "bokashi." The background features Mount Fuji, a recurring motif in Hiroshige's work, symbolizing its cultural and spiritual significance in Japan.

"Nihon-bashi" is celebrated for its historical and artistic value, providing insight into the Edo period's culture, economy, and urban life. Hiroshige's work has had a profound influence on both Japanese art and Western Impressionism, with his unique portrayal of landscape and urban scenes. The print remains an important piece of Japan's artistic heritage and continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and its depiction of a bygone era.
