Hokusai04 Honganji at Asakusa, Tokyo (東都浅草本願寺) / Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (富嶽三十六景) by Katsushika Hokusai

There is a town in Edo behind a large roof of "Honganji(本願寺)", and Mt. Fuji soars in a distance greatly.

The height of the aspect is put on the same with the tile workmen on the roof.

The haze is broken through, the tower and the kite expand in the sky, and the height of the sky is expressed well by deep indigo blue.

The "Honganji(本願寺)" was built as "Kozuiji(光瑞寺) in 1591.

It moved to Asakusa after the big fire of Meireki(明暦) that occurred in 1657, and it came to be called, "Honganji" afterwards.
