Inspired by Hiroshige's "Kameido Tenjin keidai" No.65 from "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo". The shrine has 3 b ridges representing the past, current, and future, and the one depicted here represents the future. At the time Hiroshige painted this work, pine forests we re in the distant background, but today, modern architecture, including the Sky Tree, lines the street. Although the landscape has changed, it i s still famous for its wisteria in contemporary times and attracts many visitors during the wisteria blooming season.
There are 2 versions of Hiroshige's "Kameido Tenjin keidai": a blue first-printing version under the drum bridge and a red second-printing version. This work is based on the first-printing version.
広重の「名所江戸百景」第六十五景である『亀戸天神境内』と同じ構図で現代の亀戸天神社を描いた作品です。この神社には過去・現在・未来を表す3 つの橋があり、ここに描かれているのは未来を表す橋です。広重が描いた当時は、遠景に松林が広がっていますが、現代ではスカイツリーをはじめ近代的な建築が並びます。景色は変わりましたが、現代でも変わらず藤の名所として有名で、藤が咲く季節には多くの人が訪れます。
広重の『亀戸天神境内』には太鼓橋の下が青い初摺Ver. と赤い増摺Ver. が存在しますが、本作は初摺Ver. を引用しています。
