It features a decorative border and characters in the right margin identifying the location and publisher as Edo Kyobashi Ginza 4-chome and Kawaguchi Shozo. The signature at the lower left reads Ichiyusai Hiroshige ga. The second print is from the series Tokaido Gojusantsugi no uchi (The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido), titled Numazu: Tasogare-zu (Numazu: Twilight View). It depicts travelers walking beside a river under a full moon, including a figure carrying a large red Tengu mask. It is signed Hiroshige ga with artist seals and includes the publisher seal for Hoeido near the title. Both items are 20th-century re-strikes on paper.
