One figure bends forward to offer a tray, while another, still seated, looks up at them. In the small window above, blue mountains stretch away beyond a grove.
About this print
A figure bending forward holds out a red-rimmed tray. They wear a black kimono with a brown jacket over it, tied with a gray sash. In the lower right sits another figure, in a navy and white patterned kimono and something like a white hood, looking up at them. In the small window above are a grove of thick-trunked trees and a green meadow, with blue mountains in the distance.
Totsuka, the place in the title, was a post town on the Tokaido in what is now Totsuka Ward, Yokohama. It was a busy stop, one of the places where travelers who had set out from Edo spent their first night. According to a record from around 1843, there were said to be 75 hatago (inns) there.
