東京開化三十六景 新橋より煉化の造家
Brick Buildings Seen from Shinbashi, from Thirty-six Views of Modern Tokyo
The cherry trees are in full bloom, and their flowering branches reach all the way over the red title label.
About this print
Beneath the cherry trees in full flower, two people in purple and blue kimono stand side by side. A whitish green wall lined with vertical stripes stretches into the distance. A railing-like fence runs across the bright green ground, and in the lower left corner, something like a red seat peeks out above a large wheel with thin spokes fanning out from its center.
In 1872, a great fire swept through the area from Ginza to Tsukiji. The government took the opportunity to build a fire-resistant, Western-style brick district, the "Ginza Brick Town."
