Horie and Nekozane, No. 96 from One Hundred Famous Views of Edo

This view looking westward from Edo Bay toward two fishing villages—Nekozane on the right side of the channel and Horie on the left—is a particularly early image in the series. Like many of the early views, it depicts a site far from Edo itself but familiar to Edo residents. Some of these distant sites were important junctions, while others were known for religious or historical monuments. This area was famous chiefly for the variety of tasty shellfish that it supplied to the city. At the very southern tip of this place now sits Tokyo Disneyland, the newest "famous place" in the area.
