東京名所三十六戯撰 津の守坂
Tsunokamizaka, from Thirty-six Comic Views of Famous Places in Tokyo
People in striped kimono stand under a waterfall that drops in thin streams from a cliff. The white lines of water show crisp and clear against the dark green trees.
About this print
From among dense trees, a waterfall drops in many thin white streams. Beneath it, people in striped kimono bathe in the water, and on the left stand a woman in a patterned kimono and a child. Underfoot is a waterside lined with flat stones, and a small building with a yellow roof peeks out of the trees at the back.
The right-hand line of the title cartouche can be read as "津の守坂" (Tsunokamizaka). Because the whole area on its west side was the residence of Matsudaira Settsu-no-kami, the slope was usually called "津守坂." From the Edo period until the middle of the Meiji era, it was a narrow, steep slope that zigzagged back and forth.
