Hijiri Bridge

Hijiri Bridge is a distinctive reinforced concrete arch bridge spanning the Kanda River, recognizable by its elegant, parabolic curves and unique three-dimensional piers. Completed in nineteen twenty-seven as part of the reconstruction efforts following the Great Kanto Earthquake, the structure was designed by Mamoru Yamada, a founding member of the Secession Group whose work often drew inspiration from German Expressionism. Stretching ninety-two meters long and twenty-two meters wide, it remains the longest bridge crossing the Kanda River today.
