Notes:

"The work, made by the artist Utagawa Hiroshige III, is taken from the series 'A Collection of Pictures of Famous Scenic Spots in Tokyo' and is titled 'Inside the Sakurada Gate'.

The artist depicts the daily comings and goings at the Sakuradamon, the largest of the gates of the Edo Castle which, in the months immediately preceding the realization of this woodcut, after the capitulation of the shogunate, had become the residence of the emperor with the name Tokei-jo, that is 'Tokei Castle', and which just three months after the publication of this work would be renamed to 'Imperial Castle' Kojo."
