label copy: "okabe station no. 22 (series - 53 stations on tokaido road)this view of okabe presents one of the most stunning compositions among the prints from hiroshiges first and most celebrated series depicting the t?kaid? stations. Woodcutters from the village make their way along the narrow pass of utsu valley that follows the route of a swiftly flowing stream. Narrow, dark, and overgrown with lush vegetation and dense forest, the pass has been a subject in literature from the early heian period (7941185). "
