Cities are constantly growing, changing, and adapting to the needs of those who live there, and civil engineering is a big part of this. It's not a new phenomenon though - civil engineering projects have long been a part of history, and many of them are captured in Edo-period artworks.
The Civil Engineering of Edo exhibition at the Ota Memorial Museum of Art looks at civil engineering works through ukiyo-e prints, with pieces on display from the likes of Utagawa Hiroshige and Katsushika Hokusai.
Do note that the museum is closed on Mondays if you're planning to visit.
