〔江戸高名会亭尽〕 〔両〕国柳橋(収載資料名:広重画帖)

藤彦 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from the Edo period, published by Fujihiko, part of a Hiroshige album of famous Edo teahouses and restaurants, showing the Ryogoku Yanagibashi riverside. It is a view meant for townspeople and travellers who wanted to see the city's notable places. The scene shows a two-storey teahouse over the water, a wooden bridge, and boats with a passenger under a parasol, a layout a designer could borrow for its flat planes of colour and stacked architecture against the river.
