Description
Kameido Tenmangu, the shrine dedicated to the scholar-deity Tenjin in the Kameido district east of the Sumida River, is depicted here blanketed in snow. The shrine's famous wisteria garden and distinctive arched bridges are softened under a white covering, and the monochromatic palette of winter quiets the scene. This belongs to a series of "Famous Places of Edo" prints surveying the capital's landmarks.
