content: The print is divided into two sections: the upper portion depicts Takasaki City (Gunma Prefecture) with its dwellings, street scenes, railroad station, and a train approaching the city; the lower portion shows a departing train at the Ueno station with decorative flag poles and viewers against the background of the Ueno park filled with cherry blossoms. An English caption added to the print indicates that the scenes show the opening ceremony of the railway connecting Ueno (Tokyo) and Takasaki, one of the most important silk fabric centers.
