This small-format ukiyo-e is a woodcut reprint of no. 79 "Kuramae Street, Asakusa" from the series "True Pictures of Famous Places of Tokyo".
The print was created by the artist Inoue Yasuji around 1884 during the Meiji period. Inoue Yasuji (井上安治, 1864–1889) was a promising Japanese ukiyo-e artist from the early Meiji period. Although he lived to be only 25 years old, he left behind an impressive and celebrated body of work.
The image depicts a snowy street scene in Tokyo with characteristic red warehouses on the left. Horse-drawn carriages, trams, and pedestrians can be seen traveling through the winter landscape in the scene. Yasuji was known for his ability to beautifully capture the modernization of Tokyo during the Meiji period, often influenced by Western perspective techniques and lighting.
Print dimensions: approx. H 11.1 cm W 17.9 cm T
total dimensions: approx. H 22.5 cm W 31.6 cm
