In this print we see what appear to be vendors selling sake, fish and other delectables on Azuma bridge, while a strange looking gentlemen in a red coat performs. In the background we see 浅草 Asakusa - the Buddhist temple Sensō-ji and the five-story pagoda Asakusa Shinto shrine. The yellow title cartouche of this print remains largely unread, except for the first two characters 十月, 10th month, and the characters 浅草, Asakusa.

Each print in this twelve print series is a comic riff on famous places or sites in Tokyo. Twelve Months at Famous Places in Tokyo was created during the same year that the artist created his more famous comic series Thirty-Six Famous Views of Tokyo: A Comic Selection. In discussing this larger comic series of prints, a parody of Hiroshige's famous 1856/1859 series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, Johnathan Solomon notes that Shōsai "found comic expression a suitable response to the chaos and uncertainty" of the early Meiji Era.¹
