1835 (ca.), Utagawa Hiroshige, Female Processions: The View at Takanawa -- British Museum (London)
From the museum label: Many processions of high-ranking samurai lords approached Edo along the coastal promenade at Takanawa. Unusually, Hiroshige here depicts samurai women. The double family crests throughout the design suggest that the young woman seated in the sedan chair (centre sheet) is a bride joining her husband's family in Edo.
