Comments - Lively depiction of the busy area around the Nihonbashi or Nihon Bridge in Tokyo, with its famous notice boards at center. Called kosatsuba, the boards displayed official messages and regulations, and were located at busy crossroads. Just below, a wagon with English on the side driven by a foreigner carries a load of passengers. Laborers carrying freight, travelers, pedestrians, and even a sumo wrestler share the street. At upper left, Mt. Fuji rises in the distance, and the towers of the castle can be seen among the trees at upper right. A terrific image with wonderful detail.
