This is the scene that Ariwara No Narihira goes down to Azuma, inspired by a legend shown in the Ise Monogatari. Usually, going down to Azuma recalls the scene of Kakitsubata, a kind of iris, in bloom at Mikawa, but in this artwork, Mt.Fuji is set in the background, that means the scene might be unrolled at Azuma, ahead of Mikawa. Hiroshige is known as a famous landscape painter, but he also left some works depicted persons. You could see his another face on this artwork.
