東京名所 柳島妙見
Yanagishima Myoken, from Famous Places in Tokyo
Under a sky tinged pink, a dirt road curves along a grassy embankment toward a large two-story house by the river. On the right, a wide stretch of water.
About this print
Along a grassy embankment, a dirt road winds gently into the distance. At its end are a large two-story house ringed with a veranda and railings, and a row of houses surrounded by trees. On the left, something like a red fence peeks out. To the right a wide expanse of water opens up, with trees lining the far shore. The sky is gray at the top and turns pinker toward the bottom.
Yanagishima Myoken, named in the title, is the popular name of Hoshoji, a temple long loved by that name. It is also counted among Hiroshige's "Forty-eight Views of Famous Places in Edo."
Far out on the water to the right, two tiny figures, no bigger than beans, stand side by side. On the wide water, they look like two short vertical strokes set down in just that one spot.
