- Akasaka: On the Nawate Road, Yajirobei Takes Kitahachi for a Fox and Beats Him/ 赤坂縄手道にて弥次郎北八を狐とおもひててふちゃくする (Akasaka, Nawatemichi ni te Yajirobei Kitahachi o kitsune to omohite chochaku suru)
- Creator
- Utagawa Hiroshige/ 歌川広重 (Signature: Hiroshige ga/ 広重画)
- Description
- Nishiki-e (Multicolored Print), ink and color on paper. A road lined with tall pine trees cuts through vast rice fields, a crescent moon hangs overhead hidden slightly by the trees. In the foreground, one man beats the other with a stick, the print title tells us their names are Yajirobei and Kitahachi. Yaji and Kita are the main characters of a popular comical novel titled Tōkaidōchū Hizakurige (abbreviated to Hizakurige) written by Jippenshu Ikku. The book recounts the two men’s misadventures along the Tokaido road. In this scene Yaji has mistaken Kita for a fox spirit or Kitsune, which are known in Japanese folklore to be powerful tricksters.

- Bryan Proctor Interview, August 24, 2019

- Creator
- Maren Orchard; Bryan Proctor
- Description
- Bryan Proctor, a longtime Southeast DC resident, reflects on his experiences in Anacostia Park. He talks about how he's been skating for over 30 years, and discusses the changes (both good and bad) he's seen in the skating arena, the Park, and DC as a whole. He emphasizes how the city should have more events - like Summer in the Park - at Anacostia Park. He reflects on the changes he's seen in DC and his wish that Anacostia Park will stay the same: "I hope Anacostia Park doesn't change too much."

- Utagawa Hiroshige/ 歌川広重 (Signature: Hiroshige ga/ 広重画)
- Description
- Nishiki-e (Multicolored Print), ink and color on paper. Travelers rest by one of the two twisted ancient pine trees that hang over the water. Behind the group of travelers, a small stone pagoda is framed in the curve of one of the trees. The title of the print indicates that this was once the site for the irises at Yatsuhashi which is a reference to The Tales of Ise. In the story the unnamed protagonist encounters an eight plank bridge over a river surrounded by irises and he composes a romantic poem.
