東京開化三十六景 向嶋土手の燈籠
The Lantern on the Mukojima Embankment, from Thirty-six Views of Modern Tokyo
Under cherry trees in full bloom, people in kimono stroll together. On the right stands a tall stone lantern, and white sails show on the water beyond.
About this print
Two cherry trees spread their branches across the whole upper half of the picture. On the far shore of the water, a red band. At the bottom center stands something thin and red, perhaps a post or a sign.
In Mukojima, the Sumida Embankment (Sumidazutsumi, also called Bokutei) runs along the Sumida River from Mimeguri Shrine to Mokuboji Temple. In 1717, on the orders of the eighth shogun, Tokugawa Yoshimune, a hundred cherry trees were planted along it.
At the foot of the lantern on the right, one person dressed in black stands alone. Among all the people in red and blue kimono, this is the only figure in black.
