東京名所三十六戯撰 鉄炮洲
Teppozu, from Thirty-six Comic Views of Famous Places in Tokyo
On the right side of the street, a row of long red, yellow and navy cloths leans at a slant. Beside them, a woman in a patterned kimono stands still.
About this print
The view runs straight down a street lined with houses on both sides. In front of a shop on the left, a person in a green kimono leans forward as if running. Right of center stands a woman in a patterned kimono, with a small figure in a red kimono in front of her. At the end of the street, a horizon blurred with red and a stretch of water come into view, with a green shape like an island floating on it.
Teppozu, named in the title, is the old name for a sandbar along the west bank of the Sumida River, in the area of today's Minato and Akashicho in Chuo Ward. Teppozu Inari Shrine here faced the port of Edo, and sailors arriving from all over the country were among its devoted worshippers.
Look down at the ground, painted solid green, and there is a white dog at the woman's feet. To its left, something like a yellow basket sits all by itself.
