東京開化三十六景 愛宕山之見晴シ

Among the pines, people in Western clothes share the scene with someone in a blue-patterned kimono. In the Edo period, Mount Atago was known as a scenic spot with views out over the sea.
About this print
A band of red haze crosses the middle of the picture. Beneath it lies a layer of blue-green, and in the whitish sky above, pale indigo clouds trail in streaks. In front of pines reaching in from both sides stand two figures in Western clothes, one in a purple jacket and one in a long black coat. Between them is a small figure in blue. On the right, beside what looks like a bench, is someone in a blue-patterned kimono.
Mount Atago is 26 meters above sea level, and it is still the highest natural peak in Tokyo's 23 wards. In the Edo period it was a scenic spot with clear views over the sea, and it also appeared in woodblock prints.
