Taiko-bashi (drum) Bridge at Kameido Shrine

Taiko-bashi (drum) Bridge at Kameido Shrine

Stereograph published in 1904. Although the bridge is the same as in photographs #5001and #2215, the stone lantern in the foreground is larger. Gentlemen wearing Western-style suits and hats are visible among the worshippers, a sign of the times. Frequently a notice was posted on the parapets urging the elderly, ladies and children not to cross the bridge because of the danger (from Saishin Tokyo Hanjoki published in 1903).==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐66‐0]

    Taiko-bashi (Drum) Bridge at Kameido Shrine

    The steep inclination of Taiko Bridge made it hard to cross, but these people seem to be enjoying themselves. The inclination of the bridge shown in a photograph from the early Meiji Period is gentler. There is also a photograph of the bridge taken in 1890-92 when it was in such a bad state that people were not allowed to cross it. The bridge shown here was apparently built soon after that time, which means that this photograph was taken after 1892.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number48‐67‐0]

It is said to have been 4.5m high, 2.8m in diameter, 28cm thick and about 8.3 tons in weight.
