From One Hundred Famous Views of Edo

This is a drawing of a monk making a pilgrimage to Konpira Shrine

early in the morning in midwinter.

This was a common practice from the beginning of winter until Setsubun,

as it was believed to bring greater merit than other seasons.

At the top of the hill you can see a guardhouse where hollyhocks were cultivated.

The soba noodle seller in the center is approaching morning,

and it seems that it is time to close up shop.
