〔江戸高名会亭尽〕 向島之図(収載資料名:広重画帖)

1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from the Edo period, catalogued as part of a series of famous teahouses of Edo and published as a picture album, probably by Utagawa Hiroshige's workshop. The scene shows a teahouse garden at Mukōjima, where visitors in kimono stroll along a blue-green fence toward a hillside, and the flat colour blocks, pale sky and layered planes of the composition offer a designer a clear model for simplified landscape.
