Abstract
 Artists such as Hiroshige and Hokusai created many wonderful city scenes by skillfully incorporating topography such as Mt. Fuji and Edo Bay and view of Edo Castle into landscape pictures. The landscape paintings were however just illustrated ones of famous places; the actual states of landscape of Edo City are still not clear. We visualized landscape of Edo by considering an old map of Edo, the topographic data, and information concerning building structures. We also attempted to explore the original landscape of Tokyo with interpretation of the landscape paintings and the results of visualization.
