content: Dividing the print in half is the river that holds two ships sailing downstream. On the bottom left side shows a rest stop, probably along the Tokaido. Here soldiers can rest along and regain their strength with tea or sustenance. Along the Tokaido are 53 stops. It would take on average two weeks for military men to travel to and from Edo. This depiction does not appear to be busy.
