春の部。目白台近くを蛇行する神田上水を描く。右方は堰（せき）の修復工事に携わったとされることから、寛保3年（1743）の芭蕉の五十年忌に建てられた芭蕉庵。この辺りは椿の名所で椿山ともいい、近くの武家屋敷は椿山荘（ちんざんそう）と呼ばれた。 -- 藤澤紫Ｋ

[1] Much of Bigelow's collection of Asian art was formed during his residence in Japan between 1882 and 1889, although he also made acquisitions in Europe and the United States. Bigelow deposited many of these objects at the MFA in 1890 before donating them to the Museum's collection at later dates.
