Takagamine Road in Kyoto — the area of northern Kyoto associated with the Edo-period artist Hon'ami Koetsu, who established an artistic community there — winds through a landscape that retains a quieter, more rural character than central Kyoto. Kotozuka's print of this road captures the atmosphere of one of the old capital's northern approaches, where the density of the city gives way to bamboo groves, open fields, and the particular light that characterizes the landscapes beyond Kyoto's built center.
