From Hiroshige's One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (1856–58), a 118-print series of vertical oban landscapes and genre scenes that defined the visual image of Edo for generations. A complete set sold for $405,400 at Sotheby's Online Jul 2024.
Zojoji, the massive Jodo-sect temple complex in Shiba, was the funerary temple for six Tokugawa shoguns and one of Edo's most imposing religious institutions. Its Sangedatsumon — a three-tiered gate dating from 1622 — was among the grandest timber structures in the city. This numbered Edo view likely shows the temple's monumental approach or its grounds, which stretched across a considerable area of the Shiba district.
