Description
Tsukudajima — "Tsukuda Island" — was a small fishing village in the estuary of the Sumida River, settled by fishermen brought from Tsukuda village in Settsu Province to supply the shogun's kitchens. The island's distinctive silhouette of low buildings, boats, and the nearby Sumiyoshi shrine made it a recognizable landmark. This numbered Edo view captures the marine character of this enclave within the bay.
