東京名所三十六戯撰 新川
Shinkawa, from Thirty-six Comic Views of Famous Places in Tokyo
Past a long wooden-floored room, corridors and rooms go on and on into the distance. In front, someone leans far forward, and green things lie scattered across the floor.
About this print
A ceiling of yellow boards and its beams stretch far toward the back. By a large wooden door on the left, someone leans out, and there is something like a dark animal. In the wooden-floored room in the middle stands a woman in a purple kimono, while a person in a blue kimono crouches down. In the room at the back hangs what looks like a red lantern.
The title in the cartouche, written in cursive script, can be read as "新川" (Shinkawa). The Shinkawa riverside was known as a district crowded with kudarizake wholesalers, the merchants who dealt in sake from the Kansai region.
Just below the cartouche, a long, white latticed rectangle hangs sideways from the ceiling. Beneath its middle peek out something black and rounded and a small red ornament.
