The arched stone bridge over the Meguro River in Edo (now Tokyo) was known as the Drum Bridge for its resemblance to the rounded profile of a drum. This print shows people shielding themselves from the snow with hats and umbrellas as they cross it. In the foreground on the lower right, behind the artist’s signature, is the roof of a shop called Shōgatsu-ya that served shiruko mochi —a sweet red-bean soup with rice cakes that is a winter treat. Sunset Hill lies on the other side of the bridge and was once known for its red maple leaves in autumn.
