Very good impression and colors. Small hole in left margin otherwise very good condition.This print shows the last moments of Edo.
In 1868, when Emperor Meiji entered the city for the first time, Edo would cease to be called Edo and would henceforth be named “Tokyo”. This shows part of the emperor’s procession at Nihonbashi bridge as it nears the palace.
