Muut tiedot
The Kisokaidō Road linked the shōgun's capital of Edo (present day Tokyo) to the imperial capital Kyoto. On the highway there were sixty-nine halting places that, together with the starting point at the Nihonbashi (Japan Bridge) in Edo, make the seventy subjects found in the series of views of the Kisokaidō Road. Unlike the coastal Tōkaidō Road, the Kisokaidō travels inland through central Honshū. It is sometimes referred to as the Nakasendō and it's name can be translated as "central mountain route".
'The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kisokaidō Road'
木曾街道六拾九次之内 (Kisokaidō rokujūkyū tsugi no uchi) was a collaboration between Hiroshige and Keisei Eisen.
