Kakagawa - #27 of the Fifty-three Stages of the Tokaido Road series.
In the image, travelers wearing traditional Japanese attire are crossing a wooden bridge, while a child joyfully runs amidst the scenic backdrop of a tranquil river and distant mountains, as a kite soars gently in the clear sky. The artwork captures a serene moment, blending human activity with the calm beauty of nature.
