Nihonbashi Fish Market 日本橋魚市 Uo-Ichi

There used to be fish markets in the present-day Nihonbashi, Muromachi 室町 (Murocho) and Honchō areas.
Seafood gathered from the sea near the shore including Edo Bay would reach the people of Edo through intermediaries such as peddlers.
The whole north bank area of Nihonbashi River from Nihonbashi bridge to Edobashi bridge such as
Honfune-chō, Anjin-chō and Nagahama-chō was known as the Nihonbashi Fish Market.
There was also salt fish wholesalers who dealt with salted and dried fish in Yokkaichi-chō of the south bank and a fish market called the "New Market" in Honzaimoku-chō.
The bustle and excitement of this market was adopted in many ukiyo-e as a famous place in Edo.
