- Abstract
- In this depiction of the fifty-second station of the Tōkaidō, Hiroshige focuses on a close-up view of an inn. The image shows guests in various situations: some are being served a meal, others, in the background, are enjoying a bath, and yet others, at the upper floor balcony, are looking down onto the street.
