Clouds of pink and white blossom fill the lower half of the sheet, with visitors seated at teahouse benches among the trees and a pond in the foreground. Above, a band of red mist parts to show the buildings of a flower park on a wooded hill. The print is number sixteen in One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, published by Uoya Eikichi, with a censor's seal of the fifth month of 1856. Sendagi's Dangozaka slope was known for its flower gardens, which drew crowds of visitors out from the city. The bands of red bokashi mist are a device Hiroshige uses throughout the series to separate near and far; impressions vary in colour and condition.
This full-bleed edition prints the work edge to edge from a high-resolution scan of the original, very slightly cropped (a few percent at most) to fit the sheet. The gallery edition shows the whole work, uncropped. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
Drifts of blossom pink beneath deep green trees and red mist, for a bedroom, dining room or entrance hall at 16×24 in natural wood. It pairs with View to the North from Asukayama for two spring outings.
