東京開化三十六景 四日市郵便本局
Yokkaichi Main Post Office, from Thirty-six Views of Modern Tokyo
Under a deep red sky, a person in red rides a horse down a street of white Western-style buildings with arched windows. When a new postal system began, Tokyo's post office was set up at Yokkaichi in Nihonbashi.
About this print
High up, the sky is a deep red, with white streaks swirling through it. Below, white Western-style buildings with rows of arched windows line the street, and farther back another Western building with a black roof is visible. On the street, a person in red sits astride a brown horse, and men in black Western clothes stand nearby.
In 1871, a new postal system began between Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, and each of the three cities was given a post office. In Tokyo, it was placed at Yokkaichi in Nihonbashi.
