Among the styles of ukiyoe woodblock prints grouped together as omocha-e, or toy pictures, we find works such as this, that group a great number of pictures of a single theme together in one work. This painting stands out among such works in part because of the people pictured at the lower part of the painting, something rare in this style of painting. A gardener smoking a tobacco pipe, a woman holding an umbrella, a young woman holding a potted plan, and a woman stooping down are lined up in the picture. Presumably this is the scene of the gardener’s street stand.
