Description
Tarui, station 58 on the Kisokaido, lies in the Mino plain not far from the castle town of Ogaki. This oban print from the "Sixty-nine Stations" series shows the station in its lowland setting, a stark contrast to the mountain scenery that dominates the earlier stages of the highway. Hiroshige renders the flatter terrain with the same atmospheric attention he applied to the mountain passes.
