東京名所 愛宕山

Mount Atago, from Famous Places in Tokyo

Mount Atago, Tokyo · 1877 (Meiji era)

From a height where pine branches stretch out sideways, the rooftops of the town spread thickly far below. A red felt rug covers the teahouse bench, and a band of orange shows along the edge of the sky.

About this print

Standing at the edge of the heights, a person gazes at the rooftops of the town spread out below. To the right, another person crouches. On the left is a teahouse, where people sit on a bench covered with a red felt rug. In the middle, a pine spreads its branches wide to the side, and beyond the rooftops the edge of the sky is tinged orange.

Mount Atago was well known in the Edo period as a scenic spot with clear views from its top all the way out to the sea.

Look at the eaves of the teahouse: white lanterns hang at intervals, each with a red mark. A little below them, a single round red lantern hangs low.
