"Inari Bridge and Minato Shrine, Teppozu" (稲荷橋湊神社鉄砲洲) is plate 77 from the renowned ukiyo-e series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (名所江戸百景, Meisho Edo Hyakkei) by the Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Created during the Edo period in the Ansei era (1854-1860), this series is considered one of Hiroshige's greatest achievements and showcases the artist's exceptional ability to capture the essence of Edo (modern-day Tokyo) through its landscapes and seasonal changes.

The "Inari Bridge and Minato Shrine, Teppozu" woodblock print depicts a scenic view of the Inari Bridge with the Minato Shrine in the background. The Inari Bridge, which spanned the Hatchobori canal, was a vital crossing point in Edo and is presented in the foreground of the composition. The Minato Shrine, dedicated to the Shinto kami (spirits) of the sea and travel, is situated in the Teppozu district, an area known for its fish market and proximity to the Sumida River.

Hiroshige's masterful use of perspective and color creates a vivid and atmospheric scene. The print is characterized by the tranquil water of the canal, the bustling activity on the bridge, and the presence of the shrine, which alludes to the spiritual life of the city's inhabitants. The series, including this print, was published by Uoya Eikichi and has been influential in shaping the Western perception of Japanese art during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" series, and by extension the "Inari Bridge and Minato Shrine, Teppozu" print, is a significant cultural artifact that provides insight into the urban landscape and daily life of Edo. It remains a subject of admiration for its artistic quality and historical value, reflecting the transition of Japanese society during a period of significant change and opening to the West.
