〔東都名所〕 〔芝愛宕山之図〕(収載資料名:広重画帖)

広重 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from an ehon picture album by Utagawa Hiroshige, showing Atago Hill in Shiba, Edo, published in the Edo period for a general urban readership. The print shows a red two-storey pagoda-style gate with blue tiled roof, a crowd of townspeople in kimono walking a broad approach, and lanterns, trees and rooftops framing the view, a strong model for layered flat colour and framing from an elevated viewpoint.
