About
Calender print of the year Meiwa 2 (1765) with the numbers for the long months on the side of the bridge. Relating to a famous poem of Teika: {Koma tomete / Sode uchi harau / Kage mo nashi / Sano no watari no / Yuki no yūgure} (There's no place to stop my horse / Where I can brush snow off / From my sleeves underneath / In the snowy evening / On the bridge at Sano.)
