Detailed Solution

Edo was the ancient name for Tokyo.
The ancient name of Tokyo was ‘Edo’ in Japanese, meaning coastal waters or riverbanks.
When Emperor Meiji transformed the Japanese capital from Kyoto into Edo, he renamed it Tokyo. Tokyo began to exist as a city known as Edo, Tokyo. Material printing has led to interesting printing practices in this city. Toward the end of the eighteenth century, at a thriving urban festival in Edo (later Tokyo), collections of paintings depicting the city's rich culture, including artists, dignitaries, and tea parties, were displayed. The libraries and bookstores were full of handmade manuscripts of all kinds, books about women, musical instruments, maths, a tea party, flower arrangements, good manners, cooking, and famous places.
