Fukuroi Teahouse, Tokaido Road Print by Hiroshige

A thatched teahouse sits beneath a large tree beside a dirt road, where travelers rest on benches and a porter with a pole-borne load stands nearby. Beyond, flat fields stretch toward a distant horizon under a pale sky, with a tall roadside signpost at right.
