Fifty-three Stations on the Tokaido: Horse Market in Early Summer at Chiryu 東海道五拾三次之内 池鯉鮒 首夏馬市とうかいどうごじゅうさんつぎのうち ちりゅう しゅうかまいち
Description
現在の愛知県知立市にあたる。首夏、すなわち夏の初めの馬市の様子を描いている。ここでは毎年4月の末から5月の頭にかけて馬市が開かれていた。野原に立つ杭に多くの馬がつながれており、今まさに馬を連れてきた者の姿も見える。中央の一本松の下では馬喰と呼ばれる馬の仲買人による取引が行われており、そのため、この松は談合松と呼ばれた。様々なポーズをした馬の姿、風になびく草原の描写は動きに満ち、観る者を飽きさせない。
