From the Art Institute of Chicago record
Travelers on the Tōkaidō Road (the highway running between Edo and Kyoto) often stopped at inns along the route, such as this one at Numazu. In this image, the bright full moon illuminates the path of three pilgrims. One carries a portable shrine with a long-nosed tengu (goblin) mask, meant to provide spiritual protection.
