这是一个寒冷的夜晚，田野荒芜，旅人结束了从江户（现东京）到京都徒步行走的第一天，聚集在一个小茶馆里取暖。在这幅画中有一个巧妙的小细节：仔细看坐着的旅人的和服和上方的灯笼，你看可以旅人身上和服和悬挂的灯笼有灯火反射的倒影，可能是雕师或拓师有意表现隐藏在室内的围炉里。《竖绘东海道》是歌川广重众多东海道系列作品中，第一个使用纵向构图的系列。一般来说，纵长画面不适合画风景画，但广重利用俯瞰式构图和近相型构图等手法完美弥补了纵向构图的视角狭窄的缺点，同时突出了日本地形崎岖的特点。
It's a chilly night, the fields are barren, but travelers warm themselves at a little teahouse. This station marks the end of the first day of foot travel between Edo and Kyoto. There is something wonderful in this example: look closely at the seated travelers and the lanterns. The wood carver has skilfully evoked the reflection of the irori firepit that you cannot see. This is one of the first series in which Hiroshige turned his landscape compositions on their sides, creating vertical designs. It allowed him to accentuate perspective and Japan's dramatic topography.
