Located in the city of Edo on the Tökaidö Road, Takanawa was a famous place for moon viewing. This print depicts a harbor town crowded with travelers and townspeople. A group of large ships is anchored in the distance, possibly in the process of transporting important goods for the city residents, such as marine products from northern and southern Japan. The smaller boats probably depict individual traders. This picture focuses on two ladies in the foreground watching the bustling scene from the open verandah on the second floor of a restaurant. They are probably entertainers and/or prostitutes. Not only is the print of interest for its depiction of a relaxing summer day, but it offers a glimpse into Japan as it transformed into an early modern society sustained by a developing capitalistic economic system. “Midsummer Night’s Pleasure” 08/05/2010-10/10/20100 *************************
