Hiroshige - 53 Stations of the Tokaido - Print 1

1 Nihonbashi - View looking across Nihon Bridge, Edo, from whence all distances were measured with a daimyo's cortege coming into view over the summit. In the foreground is a group of five fish-vendors (and a sixth partly hidden) getting out of the way, on the left, and two dogs on the right. This bridge was located in the centre of Edo and was the starting point of the Tokaido Highway. Utagawa Hiroshige (1797 - 1858). The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido - Hoeido edition (1831-4)
