Hiroshige III's Famous Places in Tokyo - Attractive design from a series depicting famous places in Tokyo, published over several years starting in 1868. Hiroshige III includes traditional locations and activities, as well as modern Meiji sights, such as Western style buildings and transportation. These lively scenes are filled with wonderful detail, carefully rendered with vibrant color and soft shading. A great look at the rapid changes taking place in Tokyo during the Meiji era.

Evening on the Sumida Embankment, 1869 - Handsome view of the Sumida River in Tokyo as evening falls. Two cargo boats make their way along the water, their sails billowing in the breeze. Birds fly through the sky in the distance, a rosy glow along the horizon as the sun sets. An attractive design, nicely composed. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, has this image in its collection.
