〔江戸高名会亭尽〕 白山傾城か窪(収載資料名:広重画帖)

広重 · 藤彦 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from the Edo-period series Famous Teahouses of Edo, drawn by Hiroshige and published by Fujihiko for a general urban audience. The scene shows a crowded street before a two-storey inn with blue noren curtains, where merchants and travellers carry goods past a lively corner. Designers can take its flat colour planes, layered rooflines, and dense crowd groupings as a model for compact street scenes.
