三代歌川广重 1875 这幅画描绘着通过画前面江之岛一之鸟居前去参拜的人们，画面的中央是遊行寺桥，右侧深处可以看见遊行寺。这是初代广重也描绘过的藤泽宿的熟悉的风景，时至明治时期，为了适应人力车和马车的通行，原来的遊行寺拱桥被改造为西洋式的平桥。在画面中可以看到人力车和马从桥上通过。画面右侧的桥头处有一个敞开着窗户、貌似茶屋的房子，文明开化的影响已是随处可见。 骑马人被认为是一个外国绅士。当时横滨居留地的外国人外出行动范围被限制在方圆十里（约40km）以内。由于藤泽宿恰好处在其范围之内，所以在实际上此地完全有可能遇到外国人通行的场面。

画中描绘的是从户塚的大坂所看到的景色。大坂从江户时代就在东海道上以陡坡连续的行路难关而闻名。从身着洋服的骑马男人的身姿和电信柱上可以看出这是明治的景致。

歌川广重 1875 在江户时代，六合沟渡轮经常被描绘成Toukaidou高速公路的典型风景。 在明治时期，随着铁路的开通，在六国河上架起了一座桥梁，蒸汽机车也开始通过一座桥梁渡河。

由于1872年开通了铁道，在远离品川宿驿的八山附近建立了品川车站。这幅作品描绘了穿越八山架设的天桥「八山桥」以及从天桥下面通过的蒸汽机车。

Utagawa Hiroshige III 1875 (Meiji 8) Shinbashi was not the post station along the Toukaidou Highway, but it is illustrated in this series since a new station was built with the opening of the railway. In 1872, the first railway of Japan opened between Yokohama station (Today’s Sakuragi-chou Station) and Shinbashi station. By the opening of the railway, two brick-made two-storied station buildings and passages connected the buildings to station platforms were constructed. This western style station became a new attraction as the symbol of modernization, and it often became the motif of kaika-e, or the ukiyo-e that illustrates the sceneries of newly flourished modern culture of the early Meiji period.

By the opening of the railway, two brick-made two-storied station buildings and passages connected the buildings to station platforms were constructed. These buildings were designed by an American architect engineer Richard P. Bridgens, who also designed Yokohama station.

三代歌川广重 1875 虽然日本桥上的来往行人都穿着和服，但西式建筑毗邻而立，在架设了瓦斯灯和电信柱的街道上奔跑着的人力车和马车，与江户时代的景观有着显著的不同，令人感到时代正在向着明治这样一个崭新的时代变迁。 最前面的建筑是电信局。1869年在横滨和筑地之间日本首次开通了电信业务，并在1872年将电信延伸至日本桥。

Utagawa HiroshigeⅢ The production date:1875 In this picture, Index of “Famous Places along Toukai: Chronicle of the Renewed Japan” is indicated. The illustrated scene is a shopfront of an inn, where a two-wheeled rikisha is parked, and the names of post stations illustrated in this series are subscribed on the shop curtain and the signs of the shops.

缩缅绘，乍看之下就是一个小小的锦绘，其实是把绘制在和纸上的普通大小的锦绘卷在棒子上压缩而成，在近处看的话，有和绉绸相似的细小皱纹。缩缅绘作为面向海外的商品被批量生产，被称为Crepe Japon，(法语Crepe，绉纱)。据说当时价格比较便宜，画家梵高也收集了很多缩缅绘。
