Print of a small group of people walking on a path along a narrow waterway heading towards a group of buildings in the near distance. They are surrounded by trees. Print of Numazu Station (#12). This is one of a series of reproductions of the "53 Post Stations on the Tokaido Hwy," from Nihonbashi to Kyoto (Hoei-do edition). Print is matted on a piece of white-yellow paper and has an additional cover page that folds over the print. A printed inscription on the cover page reads: "NUMAZU A small rural city in the twilight. Three pilgrims, one with a mask of the Tengy (a long-nosed goblin) a da mother and daughter are hurrying to the Shinto Shrine of Kompira (the Japanese Neptune). In front, the white full moon has begun to rise." There are Japanese characters at the top, bottom, and side of the printed message.
