The Mimeguri Shrine from the Opposite Side of the Crossing
Catalog note / 解説
The night view in this <i>uchiwa-e</i> (rigid fan print design) by Hiroshige is from the western side of the Sumida river, taken from the upper floor of one of the restaurants to the north of the Imado Bridge in Edo's Imado Asakusa district. The vertical blue banner tells us that the speciality of the restaurant is <i>soba</i>, or buckwheat noodles. The <i>torii</i> gate (the two-column entrance) of the Mimeguri Shrine can be seen across the river, partially cut off by the wooden pillar in the foreground. Steps marking the start of the Takeya ferry crossing lead up to the Shrine from a break in the row of stakes protecting the river-bank. Materials: Woodblock print on paper
