One Hundred Famous Views of Edo No.81Ox Town at Takanawa
In the early Edo Period, laborers who owned oxcarts were brought from Kyoto to help develop Edo. They were later allowed to settle near Sengakuji Temple, and the area became known as Ushimachi, meaning “Ox Town.” They played a pivotal role in festivals, construction projects and other activities. Here a rainbow arcs across the sky above the Odaiba batteries built to defend Edo against foreign ships, conveying a sense of transition at the Edo Period’s end.
This product is created under the brand name 'Edo Woodblock Prints' , which preserves unchanged techniques and methods from the Edo period in creating traditional multi-colored woodblock prints.

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.
