This screen painting collected by the Edo Tokyo Museum depicts Edo (now Tokyo) before the Great Fire of the Ming Dynasty in 1657. In addition to depicting the scenery of Edo, the painting also showcases daily life in Edo and specifically depicts traditional activities related to General Tokugawa Iemitsu, such as the groom's head ceremony in Kawagoe and eagle hanging and pig hunting activities in the suburbs. These activities reflected the social culture and the life of the samurai class at that time. There are various speculations in the academic community about the creation time of this screen painting, but there is still no consensus.
