The front of a gate of the “Suma temple” is drawn.
Although there is a place called a “lower horse” to the lower part, this is a place for expressing respect to temples and shrines etc. and getting off a horse to them.

It seems that there is seemingly a place which ties a horse to the hit of an inner gate, and it was ready also as equipment.
Although there is also a flow on composition and the upper part is vacant entirely, this blank has made space and time and it has affected the quality of the whole picture.

「須磨寺」の門前が描かれています。下部に「下馬」と呼ばれる場所がありますが、これは寺社などに敬意を表して、馬から下りるための場所です。下馬より先に進むには、あるかなければならないということですね。中門のあたりに馬をつなぐ場所があるそうで、設備としても整っていたようです。構図上の流れもあって上部がすっぽり空いていますが、この降空白が空間や時間を作り出していて、絵全体の質に影響を与えています。
摂津名所図会の下巻の15から続く連作の左末端です。部分ではありますが、江戸時代の街道が描かれていて風俗的な資料となっています。
