Tsuchiyama: the Suzaka Mountains (Tsuchiyama, Suzukayama uchu no zu). Two porters with straw capes carry loads on their back as they make their way through ankle-deep mud on the mountain path. It is raining, and the porters seem to be in good humor despite the rain and mud. One of them carries what looks like a wrapped banner. Behind them are the two (bannermen?) whose belongings the men must be porting.
