In the background, there are more buildings and trees. The sky is blue with some clouds. The people are dressed in robes and hats, and some of them are carrying items. The building appears to be some kind of shop or inn, with a sign hanging from the roof. The overall scene is peaceful and serene. The artist, Utagawa Hiroshige, was a master of capturing everyday life in Japan during the 19th century. His use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and atmosphere in this painting.
