Goryo Pleasure Area — a recreational or resort district within Japan whose specific location may refer to several places bearing the goryo (imperial territory) designation — is depicted in Maeda Masao's sosaku-hanga manner. Goryo lands historically designated territory held for imperial use, and several such areas became known for their scenic beauty and recreational facilities. Maeda's print captures whatever particular pleasure district this title designates with his characteristic direct graphic approach, treating the subject as a landscape or genre scene of the designated area.
