Stone monument "Kokanseki"
Ancient Shirakawa barrier is a historic place and is located about 10 km south of Shirakawa city. It was set up in the 5th century. At that time, there were different ethnic groups in northern Japan. But the Japanese government was expanding its territory to the north. This barrier was built on the main route for protection from the groups. After that, the Japanese government had occupied the whole Tohoku District, then this barrier had felt into desuetude completely. But some of heroes or intellectuals in various periods in history visited here because this legendary site had been the only entrance to Tohoku District. Over time, the remains had been lost completely. In 1800, Sadanobu Matsudaira, the lord of Shirakawa Domain, confirmed the exact location by the study of various historical documents. He built a stone monument at that place. Now there are only the stone monument, Shirakawa Shrine built in 771, and some landmarks of buildings and moats.

Asakusa Paddy Field and Torinomachimoude (One Hundred Famous Views of Edo)

Please see the details.
This is a scene of Torinoichi or Cock Fair of Otori Shrine in Asakusa Paddy Field. The festival is held on the "Cock Days" in November. A Cock Day comes around every twelve days on the lunar calendar. The superstitious say there are frequent fires in a year which has three "Cock fairs". The fair is featured by the sale of bamboo rakes symbolic of good luck decorated with trinkets at the roadside stalls around the shrine. The festival attracted a large crowd of people, particularly merchants.
In the print is seen a long column of worshippers carrying lucky rakes on the footpath between the rice fields against a background of Mt. Fuji in the evening twilight. A cat is peeking outside through a latticed window of a resting house for harlots. Around here there were a number of such dormitories where they were allowed to rest or recuperate. Under what stars was the girl in this room made to sell her favors? Could the rake-shaped hairpin by her bedside bring her good fortune? Hiroshige seldom treated such a pathetic scene as he did in this print.

Please see the details.
The print is fine both in composition and printing. But a discerning eye will notice misprinting in the part under the arched bridge. Experts say deep blue, that is, the same color to paint Shinji Pond, is not fitting here. The misprinting is corrected in later runs. Thus you can easily tell whether a print of this scene is from the first edition or not.
The shrine enjoyed the special patronage of the Tokugawa Government. The shrine buildings, pond and the gate were all patterned after those of its head shrine at Dazaifu in Fukuoka in the southern main island of Kyushu. The shrine precinct has also been famous for the wisterias which bloom in May and embellish the pond.

The picture shows two fine views of Edo in Hiroshige's times Mt. Fuji as seen from the hilly Surugacho and Echigoya Draper Shop at Surugacho. These two were the favorite subjects of Hokusai. Hiroshige and other ukiyo-e painters.
The picture of Mt. Fuji towering above the clouds painted in bluish purple, yellow, dark blue, light crimson colors is splendid indeed if a little too decorative.
