Español: Estación de posta de Fujieda, serie Camino Tokaido de Hiroshige

Un patio de estación de posta muy concurrido en una estampa xilográfica: a la izquierda, un caballo oscuro; hombres de piernas desnudas, con chaquetas cortas y taparrabos, cargan y acomodan cajas y cajones de madera; un hombre lleva un bulto atado a la espalda. El suelo ocre amarillento y la franja azul verdosa, las ramas de pino arriba a la izquierda y una casa con galería a la derecha enmarcan la escena.
