德川城使上洛式（其二）
The Tokugawa Castle Envoy's Procession to Kyoto, Part 2
A procession of people in wide hats makes its way to the right along a broad road.
About this photo
A rounded, wooded mountain lies across the back, its ridge sloping gently away to the right. In front of it, a procession of people in wide hats moves from left to right, and something like a black box is being carried along. A tall post stands at the right edge, with a large black shape beside it. In the foreground spreads a wide, bright road.
According to the history in the same album, the Tokugawa shogunate, as a sign of its reverence for the imperial house, sent a castle envoy up to Kyoto for each great ceremony and each New Year, choosing the envoy from among the lords of Tokugawa branch families or hereditary vassal houses. The album says the "Tokugawa Castle Envoy's Procession to Kyoto" is a procession modeled on the dress and display of that envoy's train.
