TOKAIDO GOJUSAN TSUGI no UCHI. Fifty Three Stations on the Tokaido. 0-ban Yokoye. 55 Sheets in a Set.
In the time of the Tokugawa Shogun there were two highways connecting Yedo, the seat of the Shogunate Government, and Kyoto, the seat of the Imperial Palace. One of them was called the Tokaido, the main road, along the Pacific coast, and the other the Kiso Kaido running through the mountains. The Tokaido contained 53 post towns between the two termini. The Tokaido Series consists of 55 sheets, because it contains the pictures of Nihombashi of Yedo and Shijo of Kyoto, the two termini.

The above prints belong to the series entitled Toto Meisho or Koto Meisho showing famous sights of Yedo and are of the O-ban Yokoye size. Scores of them first appeared from the fourth year of the era of Tempo (1833) to the end of the same era (1843). The first prints bear a red stamp of a publishing house styled Kikakudo (). But later prints have a black stamp styled Sanoki () instead of Kikakudo. But in fact both represent the same publisher, Kikakudo being his firm's name and Sanoki an abridged form of his private name styled Sano-ya-Kihei. From these days the publisher discontinued to use his firm's name in favour of the abridged form of his private name. Besides those put on show, other pictures belonging to the
