One Hundred Famous Views of Edo No.54Outer Sakurada, Benkei moat and Kojimachi
Sakurada Moat was known as Benkei Moat at this time. Kojimachi referred to the area from here to Yotsuya. This print depicts the residence of the Ii clan of the Hikone Domain. Ii Naomasa, known for reviving the Ii clan, was a chief vassal of the Tokugawa clan, and fought many battles throughout the country. His descendant Ii Naosuke, chief minister of the shogunate, was assassinated in the Sakuradamon Incident of 1860, just a few years after this print was created.

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.
