This ukiyo-e woodblock print, titled "View of Fukagawa, Edo," by Suzuki Harunobu depicts the bustling Fukagawa district in Edo (present-day Tokyo), Japan. Harunobu, a master of the genre, captures the everyday life of Edo residents, including the numerous boats navigating the waterways and the people strolling along the banks. The print's delicate lines and soft colors showcase Harunobu's signature style, which contributed significantly to the development of ukiyo-e.
