冨嶽三十六景 江都駿河町三井見世略図|Mitsui Shop at Surugachō in Edo (Edo Surugachō Mitsui mise ryaku zu), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei) — Katsushika Hokusai

The celebrated kimono shop of the Mitsui family, Echigoya, was located on Edo's busiest street, Surugachō. Mount Fuji is glimpsed from a high vantage point above the street between Echigoya's two buildings. The triangular profile of the roof is echoed in the shape of the mountain.
