Full Moon Bridge, Moon bridge in Bunkyo, Japan
The Full Moon Bridge features a steep arch design with ladder-like rungs to assist visitors during their ascent and descent across the structure.
The bridge represents a traditional architectural element that originated in China during the thirteenth century before its introduction to Japanese garden design.
The circular reflection of the bridge in still water symbolizes perfection and purity in both Chinese and Japanese cultural interpretations.
The structure functions as a combined pedestrian and bicycle crossing point, connecting different sections of Bunkyo with modern safety features and lighting.
Local photographers frequently capture the bridge's reflection in the water below, creating an optical effect that forms a complete circle.
