This small-format ukiyo-e is a Showa period woodblock reprint of issue 47, *Station Ueno* (上野ステーション), from the *Tokyo Shinga Meisho Zukai* series by Inoue Yasuji (井上安治), also known as Tankei (探景).
Inoue Yasuji was a gifted ukiyo-e artist who died at the young age of 26. This important series comprises 134 small-format images, created between approximately 1881 and his death in 1889. The series captures the rapidly changing streets and landmarks of Tokyo during the Meiji period and was popular among travelers arriving in the capital from all over Japan, as it provided a vivid picture of the modernized city.
The name of the artist, Inoue Tankei (井上探景画), is printed in the lower right corner of the image, with the title below it. The print is attached at the top to a paper folding folder (passe-partout) with the inscription "No. 47 上野ステーション (Ueno Station)".
