# Vehicles on the Streets of Tokyo, in Utagawa Yoshitora

Utagawa Yoshitora designed this in 1870, aged 25. It is now at The Met in New York.

Our note:

> Rickshaws, horse-drawn carriages and even early bicycles crowd a Tokyo street in this triptych of 1870, only two years after the city, formerly Edo, had become the imperial capital.
