A scene of people walking up Edomi Slope, with a view of Tokyo stretching out beyond. As the name suggests, the composition makes effective use of the slope's elevation to offer a distant view, while the figures convey a quiet sense of everyday life. Shotei skillfully arranges the sloping road and surrounding townscape within the slender format, capturing the atmosphere of Tokyo as it gradually entered the modern era.
