Description

The post-town of Fukuroi — today part of Shizuoka Prefecture — appears in at least three of Sekino's Tokaido prints, each emphasizing a different aspect of the station. This version distills the settlement to its architectural essentials, the composition likely centering on the town's distinctive woodworking and lacquerware trade, for which the area was historically known.
