描述：
One of Tokyo's five original parks, Ueno not only contained Japan's first art museum (pl. 21), but it also boasted the nation's first zoo. When tracks were laid from Tokyo Central station to Ueno after the 1923 earthquake, the park became even more accessible to the crowds visiting its attractions. Onchi captures the relaxed mood of a typical Sunday when city-dwelling parents and children came to enjoy the pleasures of the park like setting of the Ueno Zoo and its numerous species of animals-native and foreign. The zoo in Ueno Park which still attracts millions of visitors each year. Onchi's prints in Scenes of Lost Tokyo are carved from the original blocks which survived the war. The blocks for the prints of the other artists were recarved from the original prints.
