Fifty-three Stations on the Tokaido: Famous Rest House at Kusatsu 東海道五拾三次之内　草津名物立場とうかいどうごじゅうさんつぎのうち　くさつ　めいぶつたてば

Description

現在の滋賀県草津市にあたる。草津は東海道と中山道の分岐点にあたり、交通の要所として賑わっていた。ここには名物の「姥が餅」を食べさせる「うばがもちや」があり、この茶屋は旅人の格好の休み処として古くから知られていた。茶屋の店内には、この餅をこねる人、運ぶ人、待つ人、食す人などさまざまな人間模様が描かれている。茶屋の前を横切る道がまさに東海道で、早駕籠と荷物担ぎが休む間もなく往来する様が窺える。
