Description: Nishiki-e (Multicolored Print), ink and color on paper. On the left side is Hakone lake, lined with mountainous shores. In the immediate foreground, a perilous, rugged cliff takes up the whole right side of the composition. It is rendered in a patchwork of blocky colors. In front of the cliff in the bottom right corner, a parade of pilgrims can be seen traveling through the mountainous terrain.

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.
