Lit. Eastern Sea [coast] Road, fifty-three stations of the Toukaidou CΉ, which is the the road and rest places that linked Kyoto and Edo from the Edo period onward. The 53 stations plus two end points are: Nihonbashi ϊ{΄ (in Edo); Shinagawa iμ; Kawasaki μθ; Kanagawa _ήμ; Hodogaya ΫyJ; Totsuka ΛΛ; Fujisawa ‘ς; Hiratsuka ½Λ; Ooiso ει; Odawara ¬c΄; Hakone ͺ; Mishima O; Numadu ΐΓ; Hara ΄; Yoshiwara g΄; Kanbara ΄; Yui Rδ; Okitsu »Γ; Ejiri ]K; Fuchuu {; Mariko Ϋq; Okabe ͺ; Fujieda ‘}; Shimada c; Kanaya ΰJ; Nissaka ϊβ; Kakegawa |μ; Fukuroi άδ; Mitsuke ©t; Hamamatsu lΌ; Maisaka β; Arai V; Shirasuka {κ; Futagawa ρμ; Yoshida gc, Goyu δϋ; Akasaka Τβ; Fujikawa ‘μ; Okazaki ͺθ; Chiriu nο©, Narumi ΒC; Miya {; Kuwana KΌ; Yokkaichi lϊs; Ishiyakushi Ξςt; Shouno ―μ; Kameyama TR; Seki Φ; Sakanoshita βΙΊ; Tsuchiyama yR; Minakuchi ϋ; Ishibe Ξ; Kusatsu Γ; Ootsu εΓ; and Sanjou-oohashi Oπε΄ (in Kyoto). Stretching for 514 kilometres (319 miles), the highway had existed since ancient times, but after the establishment of the Tokugawa bakufu Ώμ{ government in Edo the Toukaidou became the main artery for the flow of government, finance, and culture between Edo and western Japan. Processions of daimyou εΌ to and from Edo were a major event in the post-towns shukueki hw along the road, most of which were equipped with stables, shops selling amenities for travelers, and inns of all sorts. Life along the Toukaido was described by the writer Jippensha Ikku \ΤΙκγ (1765-1831) in *HIizakurige GIΡ, but it was the artist Utagawa Hiroshige ΜμLd (also known as Andou ΐ‘ Hiroshige, 1797-1858) who immortalized the road in his many series of *ukiyo-e ’G prints depicting each of the stations, natural scenery, and life on the road (ca 1833). | ||||||
