Seito Bridge
From this site Seito Bridge once spanned the Seito River, a river created when Terumoto Mori built Hiroshima Castle in 1591.
The Buddhist sage Ekei lived in a house near the river. He was the founder of Kokutaiji Temple, and when the bridge was built, he held a high-ranking position, (“Seito,” a Tofukuji one of the “Five Great Zen Temples” in Kyoto. The name of both the river and the bridge derived from his position. It was a covered bridge said to have been about 4.5 meters in width.) it had railings, a tiled roof, and a door at the west entrance.
