Series Description
Originally published by Hoeido (Takenouchi Magohachi) and Senkakudo (Tsuruya Kiemon) ca 1833-34. This series is in a horizontal oban (large size) format and is commonly called the Great Tokaido. It depicts the 53 station of the Tokaido road, a route that ran from Edo to Kyoto. This series was printed in two versions, the first jointly by both publishers and the second by only Senkakudo. The Spinks collection version is a mix of prints from both versions.
