About this print
Against a pale blue sky and a grove of deep green, a row of gold and vermilion roofs stretches out. Beside the golden fence, with its row of dark vertical stripes, a tree blooms pink, and the ground in front is painted with a wave-like blue-green pattern.
The present shrine building of Ueno Toshogu was rebuilt in 1651, modeled on Nikko. Known as the "Golden Hall," it is designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan. Taito City describes Ueno Toshogu as "a dazzling world of gold."
