About This Print
This print was made in the 1950s by the Kyoto publisher Maria Shobo from recut woodblocks, copying the original 1879 design. Two series of Kiyochika designs, each consisting of 12 prints were issued. The recut prints generally, but not always, have the publisher's identifying Ma character beneath the cartouche in the print's margin. Maria Shobo was established in 1924 and continues to publish books.
This print was originally issued as part of a loosely constructed series Famous Views of Tokyo (Tokyo meisho) consisting of 93 prints issued from 1876-1881 by two publishers, Matsuki Heikichi and Fukuda Kumajirō. For additional information on this series see "Early Woodblock Prints: The Series Famous Views of Tokyo (Tokyo meisho) 1876-1881" on the Kobayashi Kiyochika (1847-1915) page.
