1857, Utagawa Hiroshige, Kanasugi Bridge and Shibaura, from 100 Famous Views of Edo [woodblock print] -- Brooklyn Museum

This image brings the viewer south of the city, looking out over Edo Bay, in an area that is now far from the shore due to extensive landfill. The print shows a procession of pilgrims heading to a Buddhist temple; their banners have prayers and emblems associated with the Nichiren sect.
