Label TextKuniyoshi's approach to this series was a novel, as he represented each station along the road with a historical incident or character from the location's past. Here we see the warrior Shirai Gompachi in a rain storm. The location, Honjo, the eleventh station, is shown in a small inset at the upper left.
