“Nihon Embankment at Yoshiwara,” from the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (Meisho Edo hyakkei, Yoshiwara, Nihonzutsumi)
Colorful Japanese woodblock print with a landscape scene. The scene is set near a body of water with a distant shoreline. A line of trees sits on the edge of the water. A dirt path runs along the bottom third of the image on an incline. The path is bordered by a fence on the left and a row of small buildings on the right. People walk on the path and in front of the buildings. A few people ride horses. A kite with a long tail flies in the upper portion of the image with a trail of smaller kites behind it. The sky transitions from dark blue at the top to light blue near the horizon. Two vertical red banners with Japanese writing are on the left and right of the image. A small tan square with Japanese writing is on the top right. A beige border surrounds the image.
