Kanagawa, from the series “Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido Highway by Two Brushes”

作者さくしゃ

Utagawa Kunisada (Toyokuni III), Utagawa Hiroshige

解説かいせつ

Utagawa Kunisada (Toyokuni III), Utagawa Hiroshige 1854 Although having the appearance of a woman, the figure on the right is actually a man. We can see the shadow of a recently shaved beard around his mouth. This picture is probably a reference to “Ofudamaki”, a festival at Yasakajinja Shrine in Totsuka. During the “Ofudamaki” festival, male shrine parishioners dress up as women and throw out talisman as they dance. The inset shows the view seen from Kanagawa Station looking toward Honmoku in Yokohama. The black land we can see in the distance in the middle is probably Miura Peninsula.
