Plum Estate, Kameido (Kameido Umeyashiki), No. 30 from One Hundred Famous Views of Edo - Utagawa Hiroshige, Japanese, 1797-1858, Brooklyn Museum. This artwork is based on a Japanese woodblock print of the famous plum tree which is known as the "Sleeping Dragon Plum" of Kameido. The tree was known for the purity of its double blossoms, which were considered "so white when full in bloom as to drive off the darkness." The "sleeping dragon plum" survived in Kameido until 1910, when it was killed by a great flood. View of the Kameido plum orchard as seen through the branches of a plum tree.
