The Newly Opened Port of Yokohama in Kanagawa Prefecture (Kanagawa Yokohama shinkaikōzu)
The image shows a colorful, triptych woodblock print depicting a Japanese harbor scene. The scene has two long, low buildings with gray tiled roofs on either side, and a crowd of people in the middle. The buildings have red chimneys. Pink cherry blossom trees are on the left and right. The sky fades from dark blue at the top to light yellow at the horizon. The crowd in the middle wears traditional Japanese clothing in shades of blue, black, and white. Some people carry umbrellas or parasols. The scene appears to show a bustling marketplace or harbor area. There are three sections to the print, which are joined together. Japanese characters are in the center of the image.
