Junichirou Tanizaki's "Childhood" is quoted on the bulletin board for "Armi Bridge". I think the surrounding scenery is well described before and after this quoted part, so I will list it.
Armor Bridge is one of the few railway bridges in the city at that time, and I think Shinohashi and Eitai Bridge were still old wooden bridges. I always stopped in the middle of the bridge and looked at the flow of water in the Nihonbashi River, but when I pressed my face on the iron railing and looked at the surface of the water coming under the bridge, it seemed that the bridge would move instead of the water flowing. I also crossed from Kayabacho, and always looked at a building like a fairy tale of Shibusawa's house on the shore of Kabuto-cho upstream with a mysterious feeling. The Nissho Building is now built here, but it was originally a Venice-style corridor and a Gothic Hall of Fame with pillars facing the water, in close contact with the stone cliffs, on the edge of the river. Who was the idea of building such a foreign classical hobby mansion in the middle of Tokyo in the middle of the Meiji era? On the banks of Koamicho on the opposite bank, there are many white walls of the storehouses lined up, and if you turn a little off that nose, it will be Edobashi and Nihonbashi immediately, but only that one section is away from Japan like a stone-plated West landscape painting. However, it was strange that it was not necessarily inconsistent with the surrounding water city, and that the cargo boats, horse-drawn boats, and daruma boats that came up in the previous flow were in harmony like a gondola. （73）
