It is installed near the black wall of Yasuda Garden on Ryogoku Kokugikan Street. The entrance to Yasuda Garden is right nearby. The Katsushika Hokusai information board reads as follows. Komadome-ishi (Horse-Hitching Stone) ━Uma-zukushi━ One sheet from the "Uma-zukushi" series printed as New Year's gifts in the Bunsei era (1818-1830). The hitching stone is depicted in the foreground, and snow-capped Mt. Fuji in the very back. In early summer of Kan'ei 8 (1631), the Sumida River flooded in a violent rainstorm and the whole area suffered a great flood. When the third Shogun Iemitsu ordered a survey of the damage in the Honjo district, it is said that only one hatamoto, Abe Bungo-no-kami Tadaaki, skillfully crossed the muddy torrent on horseback and showed his loyalty, and the stone to which he tied his horse at that time is the "Komadome-ishi". At the time it stood on the bank of the Sumida River in front of the Shii-no-ki mansion, but today it can be seen inside Yasuda Garden. One of the Horse Series that were printed to hang during the New Year period in the Bunsei Era (1818-1830). A stone for hitching horses is located at the front,and the snow-covered Mt. Fuji appears in the background. The Sumida River overflowed owing to a violent rainstorm in early summer 1631, and the third Shogun, lemitsu, ordered a survey to be carried out to assess damage inflicted on the Honjo district when the entire area was flooded, and it is said that only Tadaaki Abe. a direct retainer of the Shogun,displayed his loyalty to the Shogun by skillfully crossing the turbid waters alone on horseback to carry out this order.The hitching stone shown in this print is said to be the stone to which he tied his horse during this. This bank of the Sumia River waslocated in front of the Shiinoki Mansion at that time, and the former Yasuda Garden can be seen from this point today.
