Popular subjects for color woodcuts, bridges feature prominently throughout Hiroshige's One Hundred Views of Famous Places in Edo. Images of drum bridges like this one may have inspired French Impressionist painter Claude Monet to build a similar bridge for the gardens at his home in Giverny, northwest of Paris, and to feature it in his painting The Water-Lily Pond (1899), now in the National Gallery, London.
