Notes (1st edition)Great Tokaido Series: # 50 Tsuchiyama Artist: Hiroshige I Format: Oban yoko-e: 9.5" x 14.5" Subject: The head of a Daimyo's procession crossing a torrent by a bridge towards the village, hidden in a grove of trees, under a heavy downpour of rain. One of Hiroshige's finest rain scenes. Publisher: Hoeido Date: 1834 Tsuchiyama is a rest stop along the road from Kyoto to Edo, just before you reach the Suzushika pass. The ranks of an official's entourage keep trudging along in the rain, without even glancing up at their destination, the village nestled behind the trees. The river is in full spate, flowing furiously down its course. The viewer is reminded forcefully of these incidental aspects of rain.

The head of a daimyo's procession crossing a torrent by a bridge towards the village, hidden in a grove of trees, under a heavy downpour of rain.
This station, situated in the mountain forest, was known for its plentiful spring rainfall. Against heavy rain, wearing raincoats the vanguards of a procession of a feudal lord are crossing a small bridge spanning a torrential brook.
