The Kintai or bridge at Kintaibashi Suo is renowned for the advanced technology used in its time
|
 |
This wooden bridge is one of the three great bridges of Japan. It has four support-bases and was originally built in the 1670s. Initially only samurai could cross it; today tourists come from all over Japan and the world to pay for the privilege of walking across.
The link below shows a hand-tinted photo of the bridge in the 1880s; this image is likely from this period too given identification marks similar to albumen photographs in the original postcard. |
