Description
The post-town of Fujisawa — the sixth station on the Tokaido from Edo — appears in this undated print, one of multiple Fujisawa station images in Sekino's output. The town sat at the junction of the Tokaido and the route to Enoshima Island, making it a crossing point for both highway travelers and pilgrims, and its prints across the series reflect this dual function.
