Chuo-ku has a long history as a city of water transportation. I think most canals are now reclaimed, and many bridges are part of roads. The name of such a bridge remains on St. Luke's International University from Tsukiji Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line. It is Akatsuki Bridge over a park that reclaimed the Tsukiji River.
The other day, when I was passing through Akatsuki Bridge, I found such a relief on the wall (direction of Honganji) on the side where the park is being renovated! I've been passing by without notice at all. Did you organize the planting for construction? Or if you don't want to see it, you can't see it.
The photo above is entitled "Tsukiji Reservoir (now Akashicho)" and is written by Gardiner in 1894. The origin of this painting is thought to be owned by Rikkyo University (see the Tsukiji Foreign Settlement History Map published by the NPO Tsukiji Reservation Study Group). And the photo on the right (installed near Tsukiji Station) is "Tsukiji Navy's training ground balloon demonstration (currently Tsukiji 5-chome)" and the Maspro Electric Works Museum, which provides materials. All are engraved with Chuo-ku Civil Engineering Department Park and Green Space Division, but there is no date of installation.
I'm sorry for the photo, please go out for a walk and take a look.
The map of the settlement is a bird's-eye view of the direction of St. Luke's International University Chapel with this relief behind, and it is a very different building from now. The figure of the Ministry of Naval would be an event at the Ministry of Naval, facing the relief, on the left hand side, in the direction of the Tsukiji Market.

If you go to Honganji Temple, you know
Here's a picture of 40 years ago
It was on display.
What is the current situation?
Forty years ago, St. Luke's International University (then a hospital) stands out.
Oops! That's right! The street on the Honganji side should also be on the bridge.
I overlooked the name of the bridge. I have to watch it!
