Totsuka, from the Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō
東海道五十三次之内「戸塚 元町別道」
- Clear Weather
At Totsuka’s branch road, Hiroshige turns a map decision into mood. Travelers divide left and right under an uneventful, clear sky.
Clear weather leaves narrative to the fork — which path would you take?
Follow figure groups that mirror the road’s Y-shaped split.
Compare this quiet junction with festival crowds in Edo views.
