Artist: Japanese School, (19th century) / Japanese
Location: British Library, London, UK

Date: 1845 AD (C19th AD)

Image description: The Tōkaidō road (東海道), which roughly means "eastern sea route," was the most important of the Five Routes of the Edo period in Japan, connecting Kyoto to Edo (modern-day Tokyo). Unlike the inland and less heavily travelled Nakasendō, the Tōkaidō travelled along the sea coast of eastern Honshū, hence the route's name.
