Utagawa Hiroshige 1855 The scenery of a landscape of a rest place, located at the east end of Fujikawa post station is depicted. By dividing the space before the travelers riding horses, the slope of the mountain pass, which starts from the elevated area to the lower area is expressed. The series, “Views of Famous Places of Fifty-three Stations of the Toukaidou” was produced in 1855, when Hiroshige was 59 years old, and this is his last Toukaidou series. This series is also called “The Toukaidou in Vertical Pictures” since it is produced as the series of vertical pictures.
