Just as the early influx of Western visitors in Yokohama consumed artists’ visual imaginations, so too did the rapid transformation of Tokyo’s cityscape. In his Thirty-Six Views of Modern Tokyo, Utagawa Hiroshige III, a talented pupil of Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858), provides glimpses of the city during this period of change.
This print from the series describes the rail- way station at Shimbashi, a new addition to the revolutionary train line connecting Yokohama and Tokyo.
