Woody Joe Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido - Kambara-juku Wooden Model Assembly Kit
About the Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido
The Tokaido was one of the five highways established by the Tokugawa Shogunate in the Edo period as part of its efforts to unify Japan. It stretched 492 km from Nihonbashi in Tokyo to Sanjo-ohashi in Kyoto.
Fifty-three post towns were established to transport travelers and goods.
Utagawa Hiroshige's ukiyo-e depictions of this road are famous, and the area has often been the subject of waka and haiku poetry.
About Kambara-juku
Kambara-juku is the 15th post town from Nihonbashi, located in what is now Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka City.
Facing the Fuji River to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the south, it was bustling with travelers crossing the Fuji River, boasting one honjin (main inn), two wakihonjin (secondary inn), 45 lodgings, and one bustling ryokan (traditional Japanese inn).
This is the only snowy scene in Utagawa Hiroshige's Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido series. It depicts a world where snow falls gently on a quiet night, almost allowing you to hear the footsteps of travelers tramping through the snow.
