The Kisokaidō road through Japan was laid out by order of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who ruled the country at the beginning of the 17th century and decreed that relay stations be installed along this rugged route linking Edo (today’s Tokyo) and Kyoto.
Inns, stalls and restaurants were built to provide food and lodging to weary travelers. In 1835, the famous printmaker Keisai Eisen received a commission for a series of works depicting the successive stages of the Kisokaidō route
From the bustling starting point of Nihonbashi to the town of Iwamurata and its castle, Eisen chose a palette of muted tones, while excelling in figurative representation — especially of elegant women — and delighting in snapshots of life captured along the road – from shoeing a horse to winnowing rice
