“Kasumigaseki” (Chiyoda). In Hiroshige’s time, the slope between what is now the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Central Government Complex No. 2 and 3 buildings was called “Kasumigaseki.” Although the photo was actually taken on Shiomi-zaka, one street over, the atmosphere of the original artwork still remains today (from Revisiting Hiroshige’s “One Hundred Famous Views of Edo”, same below).
