東京名所之内 上野山内一覧之図(右の1枚)

A Full View of the Ueno Grounds, from Famous Places in Tokyo (Right Panel)

Ueno, Tokyo · 1877 (Meiji era)

Among the green trees stand a large round orange shape and a tall tower of white latticework. It is a view of Ueno Hill, looking down from high above.

About this print

At the upper right are two large red labels side by side, and among the green trees below them floats a large round orange shape. Rising from beneath the round shape is something like a tall tower of white latticework, and small red flags and labels are scattered around it. Along the very bottom, small figures stand in a row.

Three sheets placed side by side make up one picture, and this is the sheet on the far right. Ueno Park also served as the site of the National Industrial Exhibition (Naikoku Kangyo Hakurankai).

Look closely at the round orange shape, and many thin lines reach outward from a green circle at its center. It is shaped like a wheel, and it connects vertically to the white lattice tower below.
