A compilation of fashionable places in Edo from the mid-1780s, produced during Hokusai's early career under the name Shunrō while still working within the Katsukawa school tradition. The print reflects the period's robust market for scenic views of the capital's entertainment districts, gardens, and landmarks, presented as aspirational guides to urban sophistication.
