Title:
Okazaki - Kyoka Tokaido #39

The poem translates as In each inn women are busy, making up their faces and dressing up for the evening waiting for their customers, those women jo-jyo no jyon jyoro. The word "jyoro" was the general term for prostitutes or sex workers. Certainly the busy Tokaido road offered many clients for jyoro, and the weary travelers probably welcomed such a diversion.

Notes: Hiroshige made several different series called The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido (the main road between Kyoto and Tokyo). This one was done in a smaller chuban format between 1840 and 1842. A comic poem is included on each of the fifty-six prints in the series, so it is generally known as the Kyoka Tokaido. This print depicts Okazaki, the 39th station on the road.
