'The Tone River At Konodai' by Utagawa Hiroshige, 1858. From the series 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji'. This image is also available on:
This scene looks out over the Edo River (a lower branch of the Tone) towards Fuji from the hills at Konodai, or 'Swan Hill'. According to legend, the place was named by Prince Takeru, son of Emperor Keiko, who was looking for a ford across the river when a swan landed in the middle, demonstrating a safe place to cross. In Hiroshige's time the spot was still a day's journey from the capital city of Edo (modern Tokyo), but Hiroshige had already painted Konodai's cliffs from a different angle for his 1856 series 'One Hundred Famous Views Of Edo'; possibly he was already planning his next Mount Fuji series, and noted the beautiful view looking west.
Today, Konodai is a neighborhood in Ichikawa City, a suburb of Tokyo. The banks of the Edo River are mostly built up, and the view to the west looks out over the skyscrapers of downtown Tokyo. However, the cliffs and the trees upon them are part of Satomi Park, and if anything the forest grows more thickly here than it did a hundred and sixty years ago.
