Plate from the series Edo kinkô hakkei no uchi (Eight views of the surroundings of Edo). Very good proof with fresh and brilliant colours. Impressed in 1920 on paper from Japan. A few traces of glue on the upper corners, outside the image, which do not disturb from the appreciation of this particularly well-preserved sheet. Above inscriptions from poetic texts by Umenoya and Taihaidô Nomimasu.
