The clothes dyed swinging by the wind and, between them, the view with the town of Kanda and Mt.Fuji at the far back. This is the view of Kanda Konya-cho known as a town of dye.
Firstly catching your eyes would be the big occupation of the clothes for Summer Kimono and Mt.Fuji, but carefully seeing, at the end of the lumberyard, a tower of Edo Catsle is depicted small.
Also, a bird is depicted small in the up sky, in the left middle of the screen. The bird seems giving an accent of movement in this still landscape.
This kind of trick could be one of the reasons that Hiroshige is called the master of landscape.
Good condition, color, impression Slightly soiled
