Description
Station 26 on the Kisokaido mountain highway, Mochizuki sits in the high plateau of Shinano Province. This oban print from the "Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaido" series, produced jointly by Hiroshige and Keisai Eisen around 1835–38, renders the post-town under open skies, with the surrounding farmland lending the scene a quieter, more rural character than the busier Tokaido stations.
