Number 41 from the series "One hundred famous views of Edo" (Meishō Edo Hyakkei ) which Hiroshige worked on between 1856 and 1858. This print of Hachiman Shrine in Ichigaya was published a month after his death in 1858, and it was most likely that Hiroshige II contributed to this work. Hachiman Shrine in Ichigaya was founded in the15th century and during the Edo period it attracted many visitors. It still stands on the original site.

From the collection of the late John Caiger, lecturer in Asian studies, ANU.
