This is an Edo Period (1603-1868) multicolored woodblock print, called a nishiki-e, that depicts one of the 69 stations on the Nakasendō highway. This print is one in a series of 70 prints, depicting various stations along the Nakasendō (from the first station, Nihonbashi, to the final station, Ōtsu). The series was a joint project by Keisai Eisen and Utagawa Hiroshige, artists who were active in the later Edo Period. The Nakasendō was one of the most important routes of the Edo Period and was also called the Kisokaidō, hence the inclusion of Kisokaidō in the print
