It depicts 69 stops along the Nakasendo, also known as the Kiso Kaidō, connecting Tokyo and Kyoto. You can view the entire series on this great website. (Although we haven't seen the rainy version of Oiwake reproduced in the post-war publications).

Image information: In the sudden rain, the rearview depicts travelers hurriedly running along the road, while the foreground shows people fleeing to a wayside shrine among the cedar trees.

This version is a post-war reproduction by Yuyudo.
