This stunning triptych print, titled "Famous places in Tokyo: real view of Takanawa," offers a captivating glimpse into the vibrant and dynamic city of Tokyo during the late 19th century. The intricately detailed woodblock print, created in 1870, showcases the bustling Takanawa district, which was known for its bustling streets, picturesque waterways, and rich cultural heritage. The central panel of the print depicts a lively street scene, with people going about their daily business. Some walk along the cobblestone streets, while others ride in carriages, on horseback, or in litters. The energy of the scene is palpable, as the hustle and bustle of urban life is captured in exquisite detail. The left and right panels of the print offer contrasting views of the waterfront. In the left panel, small and large boats sail serenely on the calm waters, their sails billowing in the gentle breeze.

The intricacy and detail of the print are truly breathtaking, with each element meticulously carved and printed by hand. The use of woodblocks and woodcuts was a traditional Japanese art form, and this print is a testament to the skill and artistry of the craftsmen who created it.
