This is the entrance to Fujikawa station. A stone wall approach (?), signpost, a notice board and an official notice board can be seen. Sitting on the ground are probably the town leaders. A feudal procession bringing sacred horses for dedication is entering. Following the advance guard is a man carrying the traveling box, and behind him each horse with a staff and plaited streamer. In the back are a multitude of people wearing bamboo umbrella hats.
