View of Takanawa (Takanawa no zu)
Catalog note / 解説
The rainy scene in this early 1840s <i>uchiwa-e</i> (rigid fan print) design by Hiroshige is set on the Takanawa shoreline at the northern end of Kuruma-cho in southern Edo. The ox-carts in the middle foreground were used for urban construction projects. The area between these and the billboards to the right is occupied by a temporary tea-stall, and to the left there is a large grass-covered construction. This is part of the remains of the Okido, the gate that marked the official southern boundary of the city. Materials: Colour print from woodblocks
