東京開化三十六景 新吉原五階造
The Five-Story Building at Shin-Yoshiwara, from Thirty-six Views of Modern Tokyo
Against a red-tinged sky, a white building rises with tier after tier of black eaves. From the right toward the middle, pink flowers bloom in masses.
About this print
A tall, white-walled building fills the picture from the top down to the middle. Black eaves are stacked tier upon tier, and the windows and railings are touched with green. On the right and in the middle, pink and red flowers bloom in masses, and on the street at the lower left are people in red and navy kimono.
Yoshiwara, which once stood near Nihonbashi, was moved to the Senzoku area of Asakusa in 1657, after the Great Meireki Fire. "Shin-Yoshiwara" (New Yoshiwara) in the title is the name for Yoshiwara after the move.
Follow the building to the very top, and a small tower with a triangular roof juts into the red sky. Just below it runs a horizontal line that looks like a railing.
