Note du spécialiste

Jumantsubo, the Japanese equivalent of 33 hectares, was the name of an area located at the southeast of Edo. This area was reclaimed in the 1720s in order to expand the residential capacity of Edo. In this print, Hiroshige emphasizes the dramatic contrast between the flying eagle and the desolate winter landscape.
