The quaint Otsu Station, famous for its folk art (Otsu-e) provides Hiroshige with a wonderful scne to evoke Heian Japan. Here he gives us a colorful street scene, with ox carriages hauling loads and a line of wealthy houses, surrounded with greenery and flowers. Even the road has two tones, yellow and green, in this beautiful work.
