Executed in lithography rather than the woodblock medium Kiyochika was known for, this 19th-century view of Numazu Station on the Tōkaidō road shows the new Meiji railway infrastructure reaching into the provinces. Numazu, where the Tōkaidō line reached by the early 1890s, is rendered in early morning light, the station building and adjacent rooftops emerging from mist. The lithographic technique was one Kiyochika occasionally explored as Western print technologies became available in Meiji Japan.
