Shinbashi Station
In front of two Western-style buildings, one on each side, a brown horse pulls a red carriage. On the right are women in dresses with wide, flaring skirts.
About this print
At the back stand two Western-style buildings with triangular roofs, one on the left and one on the right, joined by a low building with a large arched window in the middle. In the left foreground, a brown horse pulls a red carriage carrying someone in whitish clothes. On the right, women in full-skirted dresses and men in black are gathered.
In 1872, Japan's first railway opened between Shinbashi and Yokohama. "Shinbashi Station" in the title is that line's station at Shinbashi. Today the site of the station, together with the remains of the Takanawa Embankment (Takanawa Chikutei), forms a single national Historic Site.
Look closely near the women in dresses, and a small figure in red is standing there, much shorter than the woman in the dress beside it.
