Woodblock Print Name: The Tokiwarō restaurant at the Oumaya Bank
Series Number: #6

Description: Kashi (河岸) means 'riverbank'; in modern Japanese, a different character (川) is sometimes used to write the first syllable. Some sources transcribe the title as using the character 廐, but this is incorrect - close examination of the print shows the actual character to be the simplified one given. In modern Japanese, the simplified character 楼 is often used for the last character in the title, instead of the one given here.
