Fifty-three Stations on the Tokaido: Totomi Bank of the Oi River near Kanaya 東海道五拾三次之内 金谷 大井川遠岸とうかいどうごじゅうさんつぎのうち かなや おおいがわえんがん
Description
現在の静岡県島田市にあたる。大井川の遠州金谷宿側の岸の様子。川を渡る一行は小さく描かれるが、客人や人足一人一人の動きの細部まで描写されているのに驚く。渡り終えた人足たちの中には疲れ果てて寝転ぶ者までおり、当時の徒渡しの苦労が伝わってくる。同シリーズの「大井川駿岸」とともに大井川越えを題材とした図であるが、本図では遠景にごつごつとした山々やさらに遠くの山をシルエットで表すなど、河原のみを捉えた「大井川駿岸」の構図との描き分けを意識している。山の中腹に見える集落が金谷宿である。
