The subtitle in the vermilion mark reads ‘Honjin Hayadachi’: Honjin is an inn officially designated as a lodging for daimyo and Hayadachi means early departure.

The long pole on the right center, with its top extending the upper border, is a sign post displaying the name of the daimyo. In the center, beside the entrance, several samurai are preparing for departure.

On the left, staff are busily discussing today's schedule, and a luxurious palanquin specially made for daimyo is seen inside the house.

The family crest on the various curtains and many lanterns are Hiroshige’s imaginary design. He playfully put his hi-ro mark on the lantern held by a man standing in front of the gate.

He also put the names of some cosmetics on the wooden tag over the palanquin in the house, an inappropriate addition to the design that reflects his playfulness.
