Reproduction of an ukiyo-e engraving from Hiroshige's corpus "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo." The scene depicts the Benkei Moat bordering the Imperial Palace at Kōjimachi. The illustration is distinguished by its deep perspective on the river, flanked by enclosure walls and lordly residences, under a sky of changing hues.
Originally engraved in 1856, this plate documents the urban planning of Edo after the earthquake of the era. One can observe the recently erected watchtower and the contrast between the rigor of the defensive structures and the softness of the natural landscape. The palette of blues and greens underlines the melancholic tranquility of this historical district.
Intended for amateurs of ancient topography and nippon art, this reproduction offers a precious visual testimony on feudal Japan. It integrates harmoniously into a cabinet of curiosities or wall decoration seeking documentary authenticity.
