〔江戸高名会亭尽〕 大をんし前(収載資料名:広重画帖)

広重 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from the Utagawa Hiroshige series of famous Edo teahouses, held in a National Diet Library picture album, showing travellers and townsfolk on a street in front of tiled-roofed inns. The scene is set in the Edo period for an audience of Japanese print collectors. Designers can take its flat colour planes, strong diagonal street composition, and the way the rooflines frame the crowd.
