A Distant View of Yokohama Honmura, the Licensed District, Noge Bridge, and Yoshida Bridge, from the Entrance to Yokohama near the Mountain Pass at at Noge Village 1860

This 1860 woodblock print by Utagawa Sadahide, titled "A Distant View of Yokohama Honmura, the Licensed District, Noge Bridge, and Yoshida Bridge, from the Entrance to Yokohama near the Mountain Pass at at Noge Village", depicts a panoramic vista of Yokohama harbor, Japan. The scene showcases the bustling city with its numerous ships and buildings, while the foreground features several figures viewing the scene from a high vantage point, providing a sense of perspective and scale. The print, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a striking example of ukiyo-e ("pictures of the floating world"), a genre of Japanese art that captured the vibrant and dynamic aspects of Edo-era society.
