Label TextUnlike Dotombori River at Night displayed next to it, this lithograph, at first glance, could be mistaken for an image from the early 19th century; though it has a softer, less colorful appearance than prints made using the traditional woodblock technique. Look carefully, however, and you will notice that among the traditional Japanese architecture and costumes you can see utility poles and wires and figures dressed in Western-style clothing.Exhibition HistoryToledo, Toledo Museum of Art, The City, November 6, 2015-February 14, 2016.
