The Seafront at Yokohama
Pictures by Utagawa Hiroshige III and Utagawa Sadahide
Utagawa Hiroshige III's 1870 woodblock print shows stone buildings, carriages and flags along the Yokohama seafront, with sailing boats crossing a blue bay under a pink sky. Yokohama was a small fishing village until its port opened to foreign trade in 1859, and this print captures the busy harbor town it became. For a traveler or anyone who loves Japanese prints.
