Tokyo Meisho-e (Tokyo landscapes) by INOUE Yasuji
This is a series of famous Tokyo landmarks painted by INOUE Yasuji (INOUE Tankei) from 1881 to his death. They depict scenes of Tokyo during the period of civilization and enlightenment. Inoue studied under KOBAYASHI Kiyochika, known for his ray paintings. Some of his paintings of famous places are very similar in composition to Kiyochika's works.
Please compare with the Image Bank theme "The Tokyo nightscape as seen in the Kosenga of Inoue Yasuji’s Tokyo meisho."
