In the midst of a gentle rain, the blurred traces of car lights stream like a flow on the main road.The foliage of the trees of the image depicted by Hiroshige is here taken over by the winter illuminations.
Notes
Located close to the edge of the original Edo Castle, the green hills and the nature of the area have given way to a business district, also known for its luxury hotels and great restaurants. Located in the north of the district stands the Kantei, the home and workplace of the Japanese Prime Minister.
