The Sakurakaido tract led into the Simousa-no kuni sakura area, the path traditionally began from the Nihonbashi bridge in Edo. Further, it passed through the Khondze area, along the Tategava River. Then, it was necessary to cross the Nakagawa River, this could be done by using the Sakasai-no Watasi ferry. Later, a new route appeared, which also became known as Sakurakaido. Therefore, the old way was called Moto-Sakurakaido.
The river Tatagava merged with the river Nakagawa, in this place and was the ferry Sakasai. During the tide in the Gulf of Edo, the waters of the Nakagawa River changed their direction, hence the name of the crossing. In engraving, the Nakagawa River flows slowly among calm rice paddies. On the opposite bank you can see the houses of the village of Sakasai no Mur. White birds in the reeds are the Chinese herons karasirasahe. They were the sights of the Sakasai-no Watasi crossing. In the distance you can see the mountains of the peninsula Boso.
The dark blue strip, passing along the center of the Nakagawa River, becomes somewhat wider and brighter in later impressions. The roofs of the village’s scraps stand out against a background of darker greenery. The color of the cartouche becomes more intense.
