This piece overlooks the town of Surugadai from Suidobashi (Suido Bridge), crossing from the Hongo Plateau over the Kanda River. The name Surugadai originates from when retainers moved there from Suruga (now the city of Shizuoka) along with Tokugawa Ieyasu and built residences. A large koinobori (carp streamer) celebrating Tango no Sekku waves in the foreground. At the residences extending into the background, you can see streamers, banners, and flags of Zhong Kui the Demon Queller here and there. These were samurai customs, and flying koinobori was part of the culture of townspeople. In the distance, you can see the clear view of Mt. Fuji in May.

ARTIST
Utagawa Hiroshige
(1797-1858)
At the age of 13, he inherited the family estate and lost his parents at the same time. At 15, he became a disciple of Utagawa Toyohiro, and took on the name Hiroshige. His teacher Toyohiro passed, and Hiroshige published Famous Places in the Eastern Capital in 1831, and the next year in 1832, published The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido, which would be his masterpiece. This firmly established his status as a landscape artist. From that point on, he received commissions one after another, and worked on many pictures of famous places, rich in poetic sentiment, including The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kiso Kaido, co-created with Keisai Eisen. In his final years, he released the culmination of his artistic skill, One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, as his last crowning achievement.
