The Niijuku Crossing
Catalog note / 解説
The location depicted in this <i>uchiwa-e</i> (rigid fan print) design by Hiroshige is the Niijuku ferry crossing, the point at which the Mito Highway met the Naka river to the north-east of Edo. It is not clear whether we are looking east from the Kameari (Edo) side of the river or west from Niijuku, the village from which the crossing took its name. The restaurants in this area, part of one of which is visible on the right, were well known for the delicious carp they served to customers. Materials: Woodblock print on paper
