"Night Snow over Mt. Atago" replaces "Night Snow over a River Sky," and the script near the treetops tells us that the scene is of the year-end fair on this Shiba height with its unparalleled view over the bay. In his "Hundred Views of Edo" Hiroshige will turn this view into a dramatic closeup of the owner of a famous teashop atop this hill as he stands impressively against the New Years dawn over the bay. One of the temple buildings is shown here with donated paintings called <em>ema</em> arrayed under its eaves, while the masses of people move among the temporary stalls set up under the snow-covered trees to sell every sort of trinket and food. These same stalls can still be found selling pretty much the same things in the famous "inner shops" (<em>nakamise</em>) of the Asakusa SensĂ´ji temple. A few of Edo's ubiquitous fire watch-towers can be seen sketched in down in the flatlands along the bay where the merchant class lived and worked.
