Description
The station of Kusatsu as part of the Tokaido series framework, this print may represent a different view of the same station or a broader compositional approach that emphasizes the town's position as a junction point — where the Nakasendo highway merged with the Tokaido, making Kusatsu a confluence of Japan's two greatest Edo-period roads and a significant commercial and institutional center.
