About this print

The woman on the right stands with her head slightly bowed, bringing her sleeve up to her mouth. At the lower left, a woman in a red and green kimono with navy sleeves crouches beside a large, yellow, box-like object. In the inset above are a gray mountain with white cloud hanging over it, a range of green mountains, a white riverbed and a blue river.

Fifty-three Stations by Two Brushes is an oban print series issued by the publisher Maruya Kyushiro from 1854 to 1857. Odawara flourished in the Warring States period as the castle town of the Hojo clan, and in the Edo period it also served as a post town on the Tokaido, with hatago inns lining the road.
