Description: This print is from a set by Hiroshige, titled 'Eight Views of Shiba in the Eastern Capital', which consists of eight places in the Shiba area located in the center of historical Edo (now Tokyo) in Edo. The lack of framed borders and the vibrant use of primary shades is unique to this set compared to the rather dark opaque pigment often used in Hiroshige's landscapes.

This is depicting the Year-end Market at Atago Hill. Although only 25 meters high, Mt. Atago was the highest mountain in Edo and was famous for the splendid view of the city of Edo from its summit. This print beautifully depicts the people gathered at the shrine on the top of the mountain in a snowy landscape.
