One Hundred Famous Views of Edo No.52Paulownia Tree Field at Akasaka
This print depicts a tameike (storage pond) that once stretched from Akasaka to Toranomon, seen in the background. Originally a stream than had been dammed, the tameike served in part as an outer moat for Edo Castle. Many paulownia trees were planted along one of its banks to reinforce it. The tameike was also a popular spot for viewing lotus flowers, although they are hard to see here.

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.
