東京開化三十六景 日本橋魚かし
Nihonbashi Uogashi (Fish Market), from Thirty-six Views of Modern Tokyo
People carrying loads and others in red kimono crowd together in front of a white Western-style building. The Uogashi fish market at Nihonbashi bustled with its morning trade from the Edo period until the end of the Taisho era.
About this print
A crowd has formed in front of a white Western-style building. Some carry loads, some wear red kimono and others are dressed in black. Beyond them, a long building with a row of windows stretches from one edge of the picture to the other. On either side stand lamp posts, much like street lights.
At the Uogashi in Nihonbashi, a morning market was held from the Edo period until the end of the Taisho era, and it was so busy that people said a thousand ryo changed hands there every day. After the Great Kanto Earthquake, the fish market moved to Tsukiji, where a market opened in 1935.
Lift your eyes from the crowd, and short black marks are strung out across the blue of the sky. They could be a flock of birds, and they appear only high up, far from the bustle below.
