Oku-Iya Kazurabashi bridge over the Iya river (Iya Valley, Japan)
13 suspension bridges made of mountain vines (kazurabashi) used to be found throughout the Iya Valley and provided a vital means of getting people and goods across the river in the past. Two of the surviving bridges still stand side by side deep in the inner valley. They are known as the Oku-Iya Kazurabashi or couples bridges.
From one viewpoint, both bridges can be seen one behind the other. As I made my way between the rocks in the riverbed, on under a constant rain, I noticed this cairn, which I included on this creative composition.
