Description: Nishiki-e (Multicolored Print), ink and color on paper. A heavy morning mist casts the whole scene in a faded quality. Only the figures on horseback and carrying the palanquin in the foreground are completely in focus. Behind them, the silhouettes of the city street and passers-by fill the left side of the composition. On the left is a torii gate leading to Mishima shrine.

Series Description
Originally published by Hoeido (Takenouchi Magohachi) and Senkakudo (Tsuruya Kiemon) ca 1833-34. This series is in a horizontal oban (large size) format and is commonly called the Great Tokaido. It depicts the 53 station of the Tokaido road, a route that ran from Edo to Kyoto. This series was printed in two versions, the first jointly by both publishers and the second by only Senkakudo. The Spinks collection version is a mix of prints from both versions.
