About this series and print: This series was published in 1863 to commemorate the procession from Edo to Kyoto organized by the Shogun Lemochi to show his respect to the emperor. Indeed, the shoguna of Lemochi being on the end, the latter wanted with this procession and this series to leave engraved in the memories the memory of a glorious past. Note that this series is the result of a collective work, Utagawa Sadahide having been selected to represent the passage of the procession in the city of Namamugi.
