1838 (ca.), Utagawa Hiroshige, Nagakubo -- British Museum (London)
From the museum label: Local boys play with their dogs. A driver leads his weary packhorse to the stable after many trips between Nagakubo and neighbouring post stations. A first edition, this print is considered closer to the artist's original conception. Later editions omit the blue haze surrounding the moon and insert a mountain range behind the bridge and silhouetted travellers.
