This painting, believed to have been created during the Meiji period, depicts the tea fields and tea production in **Uji City**. As modern Japan began to take shape, Japanese tea developed into an important industry, with an eye not only on the domestic market but also on overseas markets. This painting carefully captures the state of Uji's tea industry during this period of transition, combining realism and symbolism. Of particular note is the red flag hoisted in the center of the painting. It clearly bears the mark of **Yamashiro Tea**, the tea production company run by my ancestors. This is not simply a landscape; it is an extremely valuable visual record that shows that Yamashiro Tea was a firm presence in Uji at the time, responsible for the production and distribution of tea. The inclusion of a company's sign in the local landscape further enhances the painting's value as a historical document.
