Taiko-bashi, Stone bridge at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu shrine, Kamakura, Japan
The stone bridge near the shrine entrance features a distinctive curved arch design that earned its name due to its resemblance to a drum.
Local merchants from Hatchobori area financed and constructed this stone bridge between 1764 and 1770 during the Horeki period of Edo Japan.
The bridge marks the threshold to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu shrine grounds, where visitors honor Hachiman, the patron deity of samurai warriors.
The bridge connects to multiple transportation networks, with direct access to local bus stops and railway stations throughout the Kamakura district.
Hasegawa Settan captured the bridge in detailed artwork between 1834 and 1836, documenting its role in Edo period urban development.

Moon bridges form semicircles that reflect full circles in water. These structures originated in East Asia and combine function with design. The bridges stand in public gardens, botanical spaces and traditional landscapes from Japan to California.
