Paige Label Copy: "In the early Tokaido series created before Hiroshiges popular works of the 1830s to 1850s, stations of the Tokaido were depicted not as landscape scenes, but with an emphasis on figures, stories, or products associated with each region. In this print Hokusai depicts an interior scene, probably of an inn, with two women seated by an alcove and a large shoji lantern. One of the women appears to be trying to light the floor lantern while the other adjusts the bow of a large obi. In the vertical cartouche in the upper right corner the artist signed the print gakyojin Hokusai ga, which means, by Hokusai, who was crazy about art." Label Copy (Spanish): "En las series tempranas del Tokaid que se crearon antes de las populares obras de Hiroshige de los 1830 a los 1850, las estaciones del Tokaido se no se representaban como escenas de paisajes sino que enfatizaban las figuras, historias o productos asociados con cada regin. En esta impresin, Hokusai muestra una escena interior, probablemente de una posada con dos mujeres sentadas junto a una alcoba y una gran lmpara shoji. Parece ser que una de las mujeres intenta prender la lmpara mientras que la otra ajusta el moo de un gran obi. En la cartela en la esquina derecha superior el artista firm el grabado gakyojin Hokusai ga, que significa por Hokusai, quien estaba loco por el arte."
