This woodblock print, "No. 60," is part of Utagawa Hiroshige's *Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido* series, created between 1835 and 1838. The print depicts a scene at a station on the Kisokaido, an important trade route that connected Edo, modern-day Tokyo, with Kyoto. The vibrant colors and detailed composition showcase the artist's masterful use of woodblock printing techniques, capturing the beauty of the Japanese landscape and the everyday life of travelers. The scene is a quintessential example of the *ukiyo-e* genre, which flourished in the Edo period, focusing on the fleeting world of the Edo era and the beauty of nature.
