Lighting of a shuttlecock bridge
Actual size

The Kobe gas lamp passage It is the bridge which carried out the form where a bridge was very interesting, in lighting of the shuttlecock bridge of a Hanekko open space, It is the bridge to which the both sides of the small bay are connected. Since it is called a shuttlecock bridge, of course, this is pulled at a canal and a center is pulled with a wire a long time ago, Probably, it had leaped up, when a vessel passed. It seems whether to simply open hardly in fact. If the central portion of a shuttlecock bridge is raised as for a portion when lit up, It seems that it is a mechanism which falls on both the outsides and is full. Moreover, this form comes out in Gogh's pictures. A strong resemblance to "the shuttlecock bridge of Arles" is born. This form may be modeled after it.
