Hello there folks.

I wonder if someone could translate the writing on this silk panel please.

I don't think it is very old, but was given to me as a present by an older Japanese gentleman, so it has sentimental value to me as a 'keep-sake'.

Thanks in advance.

This is a repro of a Hiroshige woodblock print. It is Station #2 Shinagawa: Sunrise from his famous series The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō Road. See link below.
