Ankanzan Clinic in Heijima

Ankanzan Clinic in Heijima

This suite of prints appears to be a reinterpretation of the images that Odagiri Shunkö (1810-1888) produced for his version of Famous Views of Owari Province (Owari Meisho Zue), 1838-1841.Heijima is located in modern-day Yatomi City, Aichi Prefecture. Though records of Ankanzan have not been found, the reference to a medical library on the far left side of this image indicates that the complex may have served as a sort of clinic.
