諸人成田山参詣之図（左の1枚）
Crowds on Pilgrimage to Naritasan (Left Panel)
Men jostle their way past a tall pillar with writing on it. Behind them rises a large green mountain, with houses gathered at its foot.
About this print
A large green mountain rises in the back, with houses and woods spreading out at its foot. In front, men in navy and patterned kimono walk in a crowd; one carries a woven hat on his back, another holds an orange load. On the left, a wooden pillar with writing running down it stands tall, reaching from near the top of the picture to the bottom edge.
This is the left sheet of a set. Place it side by side with the right sheet and the picture continues. Today Narita, along with Sakura, Sawara and Choshi, is one of the four towns in the Japan Heritage story "Hokuso Shitoshi Edo Kiko: Edo o Kanjiru Hokuso no Machinami" (Four Hokuso Cities: Townscapes with the Feel of Edo). The story describes them as the nearby townscapes that supported Edo, a city of a million people.
Lower your gaze to the ground around the pillar, and you'll find a few lines of fine writing there, apart from the pillar's large characters. Similar lines of fine writing also peek out at the feet of the walking men.
