    Hiroshige’s Views of Tokyo

    The shrine, visible here at the bottom left, survives today, in the northwest corner of Shinjuku Central Park, close to one of the busiest centres of Tokyo, Shinjuku, the pond long since filled in. The popular name, referred to in the title, comes from a corruption of Junisha, meaning Twelve Shrines.
