Here depicted is around today's Shinjuku 1 cho-me, where there used to be a mansion of Naito Suruga-no-kami. As the Koshu Avenue is passing through this area, there used to be a big flow of people. In the center of this screen, there is a forest owned by the Naito, then at the both sides are lined hotels. A lot of horse carts loaded vegetables coming from Koenji or Nakano passed through Shinjuku in the early morning, so people used to say Shinjuku woke up by the neighs of the horses.

Good condition, color and impression
