label copy: "in this scene, townspeople shop along the main street of shinagawa, and, in the bay, ships are anchored near the coast. Somewhat surprisingly, hiroshige chose to focus on the city and its port, though the locale is renowned for its cherry trees. From this station, only five miles remain between shinagawa and edo. "
