In the early 1600s, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the ruler of Japan at the time, established the Kisokaidō route to facilitate travel between Edo, now known as Tokyo, and Kyoto. He directed that rest areas be set up along this challenging path to aid travelers. These staging posts eventually became lively hubs with inns, shops, and eateries catering to the needs of those on the journey. In 1835, Keisai Eisen, a distinguished woodblock print artist, was enlisted to depict the Kisokaidō route. After completing 24 prints, Utagawa Hiroshige took over and finalized the project with a total of 70 prints by 1838. Both Eisen and Hiroshige were highly skilled in their craft. Their work, visible in "The Sixty-Nine Stations along the Kisokaidō," showcases their individual artistic styles while also highlighting their common expertise. Starting from the bustling Nihonbashi post to the castle town of Iwamurata, Eisen preferred a subdued color scheme, excelled in depicting figures, especially elegant women, and captured lively scenes, such as a horse being shod.
