東京開化三十六景 上野花見
Cherry Blossom Viewing at Ueno, from Thirty-six Views of Modern Tokyo
A huge gate of thick black posts and a crossbeam divides the picture, and crowds of people in kimono pass back and forth beneath it. Beyond the gate, a tree in pink blossom and green trees peek through.
About this print
The gate's crossbeam stretches all the way to the left edge of the picture. Below it, the space is packed with people in kimono, and in the center foreground are a woman in a blue kimono with a red hem and a figure in a yellow-green kimono. At the back, trees in pink blossom overlap with green ones, and along the top edge of the sky runs a printed pattern of blue clouds.
Ueno, named in the title, was designated a park in 1873 by a notice from the Dajokan (Grand Council of State), along with Shiba, Asakusa, Fukagawa and Asukayama. The land was once part of the grounds of Kan'eiji temple, and it is counted as one of Japan's first parks.
On the latticed fence to the right hangs a yellow signboard with black writing on it. Look up from the stream of people under the gate, and your eye lands on this signboard.
