Large patterned lanterns hang between vermilion pillars. Below them, people in hats and people in white come and go.
About this print
The front of a large building with vermilion pillars and walls fills the whole picture. Above is a long, whitish tablet. Large lanterns hang between the pillars, and a red curtain can be seen at the back on the right. On the ground in front, people in dark clothes, in hats and in white pass back and forth, and there is a small figure in red as well.
The grounds of Sensoji Temple became a park in 1873 by a decree of the Grand Council of State issued that year, and they came to be called "Asakusa Park."
Look closely at the lanterns hanging on the left and in the middle: a greenish pattern is drawn on them from top to bottom. Among the all-vermilion pillars, the lanterns add touches of green and white.
