Following the success of Hiroshige I and Kunisada's work - "twin brushes 53 stations of the Tokaido Road" - this album sought to celebrate daily life and festivities of the capital city, Edo - modern day Tokyo. It is uncommon to find a full album of prints from this series. These prints contain beautiful backgrounds by Hiroshige II and figures by Kunisada, including some lovely images of snow scenes, water scenes and fireworks.
