東京開化三十六景 品川ステーシヨン
Shinagawa Station, from Thirty-six Views of Modern Tokyo
Bluish-purple smoke billows diagonally into a hazy white sky. On the very day Shinagawa Station opened, provisional rail service to Yokohama began.
About this print
A single slender white pole rises high into a deep indigo sky. To its right, bluish-purple smoke spreads wide, cutting diagonally across a sky that fades from indigo to white. In the foreground stand a figure in a red jacket, seen from behind, and another in white trousers and a black jacket.
Shinagawa Station opened in 1872, and from that day, provisional rail service ran between Shinagawa and Yokohama. At the time, the journey took 35 minutes, and there were two round trips a day.
Look just below the smoke and you will see several white streaks, like steam, fanning out. The smoke's deep color draws the eye, so they are easy to miss.
