〔江戸高名会亭尽〕 亀戸裏門(収載資料名:広重画帖)

広重 · 1 picture

A Utagawa Hiroshige woodblock print from the Japanese picture-book series of famous Edo teahouses and inns, produced in Edo for a general urban readership of the 1830s. The print shows a snowy Kameido back-gate scene with figures under parasols, pine trees bent with snow, and low roofs. A designer can take its restrained palette of indigo, pale grey and red accents, and its layered composition of foreground figures against receding architecture.
