About this print
A large, long building stands in the center, with green trees on either side. The scene is drawn as if looking down from high up, and the wide ground in front of and behind the building is dotted with lots of tiny figures. Pale blue water spreads across the upper part; on the right are a stream of blue water and its bank, and on the left a long, fence-like structure runs up and down the picture.
The Tsukiji Hotel in the title was a Western-style hotel for foreigners, opened in 1868 in the foreign settlement at Tsukiji. It was one of the very first Western-style hotels in Japan, but it burned in a great fire in 1872, having stood for only about four years.
At the middle of the long roof, a single thin, pointed tower rises.
