Description
Kagurazaka — the lively street and neighborhood in Shinjuku ward that runs uphill from the Iidabashi station — was known in Henmi's time for its geisha houses, traditional restaurants, and the particular social mixture of old Tokyo culture with modern city life. As print number 84 in the One Hundred New Views of Tokyo series, this work captures a specific location within the ambitious collective project that Henmi co-organized to document the changing city through sosaku-hanga prints.
