東京名所三十六戯撰 日暮の里
Higurashi Village (Nippori), from Thirty-six Comic Views of Famous Places in Tokyo
On a hill beneath cherry trees in full bloom, blossom viewers jostle, umbrellas and all, while below them several people tumble over in a heap.
About this print
A big pine stretches its green branches sideways across the top of the picture. Below it, pink cherry blossoms swell out, and on the green hill people holding umbrellas and people in navy clothes push and shove. Farther down, several people have fallen over, and in the distance the cherry trees blur into a pink haze, with a white building in view as well.
The "日暮の里" in the title cartouche is today's Nippori. By the middle of the Edo period, Nippori had come to be called "Higurashi no Sato," and it was a favorite place of leisure for the ordinary people of Edo.
Above the heads of the jostling crowd, a single open umbrella is held high, its surface painted in alternating sections of red and green.
