愛宕
Atago
Beneath a broad-branched pine are white-covered ground and a building with deep eaves. On the right stands a street lamp with a light on top of its post.
About this print
The ground and the low shrubs are drawn white, as if covered in snow. At the upper right is a pine with wide-spreading branches. On the left is a building with deep eaves, and under them, round yellow things hang in a vertical row. On the right stands a street lamp with a light on top of its post, and at the far right is a single figure in a yellow-green robe.
As the title in Roman letters (ATAGO YAMA) shows, "Atago" in the title means Mount Atago. In the Edo period, it was known for its fine views. Of all the natural hills in Tokyo's 23 wards, it is still the highest, at 26 meters above sea level.
Look closely at the sky: small white dots are scattered all over its gray ground. The dots spread across the upper part of the picture, down to around the top of the pine.
