| Sadanobu: Kitano Tenmangû keidai |
Here we have a print by Hasegawa Sadanobu I (1809–1879), The Precincts of the Kitano Tenmangû Shrine (Kitano Tenmangû keidai), from the series Famous Places in the Capital (Miyako meisho no uchi), from 1870-1871.
Prints with views of famous places were a subgenre of late ukiyo-e and filled the same function as postcards did later.
Sadanobu I, who founded the Hasegawa school in Osaka, created mainly yakusha-e and views from famous places. He was a good artist, but not in parity with the greatest masters.
