東京名所三十六戯撰 上野山王山
Sannoyama at Ueno, from Thirty-six Comic Views of Famous Places in Tokyo
On a red felt rug spread beneath a weeping cherry, the blossom viewers are in an uproar, leaping and tumbling. Green trees and a small building peek out behind them.
About this print
A pale pink weeping cherry trails its branches widely across the upper part of the picture. Below it, green trees and a small building peek through, and in front a red felt rug is spread out. On the rug, someone in a black kimono leaps up and someone in a green kimono pitches forward, and the whole blossom-viewing party is in disarray.
Ueno was designated a park in 1873 by a notice from the Dajokan (the Council of State), together with Shiba, Asakusa, Fukagawa and Asukayama.
Look closely at the cherry around the plate at the upper right: many thin branches hang down like threads, with only their tips shaded pink. The plate sits in a gap among those hanging branches, as if fitted into place.
