Utagawa Hiroshige Atagoshita and Yabu Lane, 1857 Colour print from woodblocks. From the collection of The Fitzwilliam Museum.
The Fitzwilliam Museum has an impressive collection of beautiful Japanese woodblock prints by some of the country's most renowned artists, including a set of Hiroshige's series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, published between 1856 and 1858. This snowy city scene is No. 112 from the winter section of the series. To the right is pictured a copse of bamboo which was a well-known landmark in Edo (modern-day Tokyo), giving Yabu ('thicket') Lane its name. The red gates in the distance lead up to the Atago shrine.
