One Hundred Famous Views of Edo No.26Armour hanging pine tree at Yakei slope
The scene shown here is not far from where JR Omori Station is now. The yoroi-kake matsu, or “armor-hanging pine,” is a large pine tree of about twenty meters in height. Its branches hung down due to their great weight. The name stems from an anecdote about the samurai lord Minamoto no Yoshiie hanging his armor on the tree on his way to subdue to Oshu Province. The name “Hakkeizaka” comes from looking out on the offshore area of Shinagawa from eight different vantage points.

These simple yet stylish deep brown wooden frames blend perfectly into any interior.
Since ukiyo-e have unusual aspect ratios, putting them in off-the-shelf frames often results in an unnatural balance between the margins and the print.
Our special ukiyo-e frames allow you to display your prints beautifully as soon as they arrive.
These frames can be used vertically or horizontally by simply repositioning the cord, making it easy to display different prints. And since they use light yet durable acrylic instead of glass, transportation is a stress-free experience.
