Series Description
A collaborative series done by Utagawa Hiroshige II and Utagawa Kunisada (Toyokuni III), published by Hiranoya Shinzo in 1864. This series is in a vertical Oban format. The series depicts a collection of specialty products, popular sites, and events around the capital of Edo. It is likely meant to serve as a kind of advertisement for the capital city and the collaboration was likely so Hiroshige II could use Kunisada's name to sell more prints and increase his noteriaty early in his career.
