[Extra] Approach the charm of the bridge lights in Chuo-ku!

[Hanes] January 9, 2019 12:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
This time, the extra edition of the river / bridge edition, it is a maniac content that is not questioned by the certification, so it is a maniac content.
I would appreciate it if you could use it as a reference when taking a walk....
And it is the bridge lights and lighting fixtures that will be picked up in advance!

In April, when I wrote a modern version of "Hashizukushi" with Yukio Mishima's short novel "Hashizukushi" in one hand.
I learned that the bridge light of Miyoshi Bridge is Suzuran Light.
Since then, I have been watching the bridge lights carefully when crossing other bridges.

Like alternating in the inflorescence (one in each node of the stem)
Polygonal bridge lights at different heights...It's simple but fashionable, isn't it?

■Shin-Kameshima Bridge
This bridge light is different from those of Reigishi Bridge and has an impressive curve.
It looks like a long herbivore dinosaur with a long neck.

■Kameshima Bridge
There are two types of bridge lights that can be seen with white spheres.

■Minami Takahashi
At first glance, there seems to be no lamps, but it is firmly attached.

■Edobashi
The lighting fixtures attached to the solid main pillar are impressive, and the bridge lights are somewhat Western-style.

This time, I did not mention it, but the bridge lights of Ryogoku Bridge with the same design as at the time of completion.
It has a unique design that differs for each bridge, such as the bridge lights of Kiyosu Bridge designed like a lamp.
When you start watching it, you will notice the fun.

Some of them are characteristic, such as Suzuran Light, that are featured in novels.
Bridge lights and lighting fixtures have been entertaining our eyes both now and in the past.
