The reader may already be acquainted with the Hoeido edition (1833-34) of The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido, author's ISBN 978-1-64786-283-1. This was the most popular print series ever made in Japan.In this Kyoka edition (a different publisher, 1838) we follow Hiroshige on the same journey from Edo, modern day Tokyo, to Kyoto, when he travelled the road to participate in an important procession in 1832.It is possible to travel the same road today and some villages are still looking quite like they did back then. The postal stations were constructed between 1601 and 1624.
