Tokaido Explained. Part 1 - The Road Japan Explained

    • History

Have you ever heard about Tokaido? If you live in Japan, I bet yes. If you’ve ever visited, I’m positive you took Tokaido Shinkansen between Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. And if you love art, you’ve probably seen some of the prints from the Tokaido series by Hiroshige.
Tokaido road has a history of more than 1000 years, and this time I suggest diving into it together.
