Woody Joe Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido - Maruko-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 unification of 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 Maruko-juku
Maruko-juku was the 20th post town from Nihonbashi, nestled in the mountains and one of the smallest on the Tokaido.
The post town's specialty was grated yam soup, and there were several teahouses serving it.
Utagawa Hiroshige and Matsuo Basho, who painted the Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido, both enjoyed this dish, and many travelers came here specifically for it.
