label: Description
content: This is the first print because of all the iconic locations depicted in Edo. A clear view of Mount Fuji in the top left corner overlooks the wintery scene of Edo. Edo Castle is located on the right side, and the Nihonbashi bridge divides the print in half. Below, the crowded bridge shows boats filled with people. The lower half of the print shows a scene of a hustling ally from the great fish market. This image shows the transition of the once fish town into the capital of the nation.
