Fifty-three Stations on the Tokaido: Okitsu River at Okitsu 東海道五拾三次之内　奥津興津川とうかいどうごじゅうさんつぎのうち　おきつ　おきつがわ

Description

現在の静岡県静岡市清水区にあたる。奥に見える白浜に青松の景色は三保の松原である。その先には船の四角い白い帆が浮かぶ。興津川を渡るのは2人の力士たち。一方は人足が4人掛かりで担ぐ駕籠に乗り、もう一方は馬に乗る。江戸時代、相撲は勧進相撲と呼ばれ、寺社奉行の許可のもとで社寺への寄進や修復費用を賄う目的で開催された。力士の重さに手を焼く人足と馬の姿と、意気揚々とした力士の姿がほのぼのとした滑稽味を感じさせる。
