"Sei-dō Shrine and the Kanda River from Shōhei Bridge" (original title: 昌平橋聖堂神田川) is a woodblock print by the Japanese painter and illustrator Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) produced in September 1857.
A composition with exaggerated reliefs shows in the foreground a diagonal hill crowned with pine trees, Shōheizaka Hill, named after Confucius's hometown. The Shōheibashi Bridge crosses the Kandagawa River, and on the other side, passersby walk along the wall of the Seido Pavilion, a Confucian shrine. The rain, represented by long, thin lines, creates an inner tension, contrasting with the usually cheerful atmosphere near the nearby university.
