Inspired by Hiroshige Utagawa Shinjuku, as depicted by Hiroshige, was a prosperous town as the first post station on the Tokaido (name of Edo-Kyoto highway). At that time, it was a town for sleeping, but today it is a town that never sleeps and symbolizes Japan's period of rapid economic growth. In this work, Shinjuku Kabukicho is depicted in the evening, before the neon lights of the night. 広重が描いた新宿は、東海道の最初の宿場として栄えた街でした。当時は眠るための街でしたが、現在は眠らない街として日本の高度経済成長期を象徴しています。この絵で描かれているのは夜のネオンが灯る前、夕方の歌舞伎町です。
