The Tokaido is an ancient highway which connects Edo (Tokyo) and Kyoto. In 1833 Japan’s great landscape artist Utagawa Hiroshige completed a series of woodblock prints of the Tokaido’s 53 post-towns. Along with lighthearted storytelling Hiroshige also portrayed the natural wonders of the landscape. Your instructor, an award winning walking guide, will use these prints to help you imagine the sights, sounds and experiences of travelers on this grand highway 200 years ago. Whether you’re planning a trip to Japan or simply a history buff, this course will enrich your understanding of this cultural landmark.
