Hiroshige - 53 Stations of the Tokaido - Print 34

34 Futagawa - A low hill, covered with small cider trees; on the left at teahouse, at which a traveller is taking refreshment, and three others approaching it. Because of the poor soil in this barren district, only small pine trees and shrubs were able to grow. What relieved travellers from an otherwise monotonous walk was a teahouse which sold refreshments and sweet rice cakes. Utagawa Hiroshige (1797 - 1858). The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido - Hoeido edition (1831-4)
