Dyers' Quarter, Kanda - Lovely view of Fuji from the Dyers' Quarters in Kanda. In the foreground, long strips of freshly dyed cotton hang from tall racks, fluttering in the breeze as they dry. Hiroshige has cleverly used the "fish" mark of his publisher as the pattern on the strips of blue and white cloth in the center. His own lozenge-shaped mark appears in the blue and white fabric just to the right, the only place he uses his personal mark in the series. Mt. Fuji rises in the distance, and a lone bird flies across the sky. A handsome composition with attractive color and fine bokashi shading.
