It was located in former Ise Province in what is now the center of the city of Kameyama, Mie Prefecture, Japan. History Kameyama was the location of a castle built in the Kamakura period by the Seki clan to protect their territories in northern Ise. During the Sengoku period, Seki Kazumasa had been transferred from the clan's ancestral territory by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but was restored as ''daimyō'' of Ise-Kameyama Domain by Tokugawa Ieyasu, and constructed a new Kameyama Castle. Along with the castle, he laid out the foundations for a new castle town, which due it its position on the Tōkaidō, was also a post town. Unlike other post towns, Kameyama-juku had two large fortified gates at either end, which also served as part of the defenses of the castle. The Ego-guchi gate was completed in 1673 and faced towards Edo. It measured 120 meters east-to-we ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Shōno-juku

It was located in former Ise Province in what is now the city of Suzuka, Mie Prefecture, Japan. History Shōno-juku was established in 1624 and was thus the last post station to be established on the Tōkaidō. The reason for its establishment is unclear, but it was built at a pre-existing settlement. The scale of the post station was small, and the number of visitors staying was few, leading the shogunate in 1815 to halve the number of people authorized to man the two official ''honjin''. Per the 1843 guidebook issued by the , the town had a population of 855 with one ''honjin'', one ''wakihonjin'', and 15 ''hatago''.

53 Stations Of The Tōkaidō
The are the rest areas along the Tōkaidō (road), Tōkaidō, which was a coastal route that ran from Nihonbashi in Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Sanjō Ōhashi in Kyoto.. There were originally 53 government shukuba, post stations along the Tōkaidō, where travelers had to present traveling permits at each station if wanting to cross. In 1619, the Ōsaka Kaidō (大阪街道) was developed to extend the Tōkaidō so that it would reach Kōraibashi in modern-day Osaka. Instead of going to Sanjō Ōhashi, travelers would leave from Ōtsu-juku and travel towards Fushimi-juku (Tōkaidō), Fushimi-juku. Because of the addition of these four post towns, the Tōkaidō is occasionally referred to as having 57 stations. Another name for this extension was Kyōkaidō (京街道). The inland Nakasendō also started at Nihonbashi, and converged with the Tōkaidō at Kusatsu-juku. Shio no Michi intersected with the Tōkaidō at Okazaki-shuku.

Utagawa Hiroshige
or , born Andō Tokutarō (; 1797 – 12 October 1858), was a Japanese ''ukiyo-e'' artist, considered the last great master of that tradition. Hiroshige is best known for his horizontal-format landscape series '' The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō'' and for his vertical-format landscape series '' One Hundred Famous Views of Edo''. The subjects of his work were atypical of the ''ukiyo-e'' genre, whose typical focus was on beautiful women, popular actors, and other scenes of the urban pleasure districts of Japan's Edo period (1603–1868). The popular series '' Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji'' by Hokusai was a strong influence on Hiroshige's choice of subject, though Hiroshige's approach was more poetic and ambient than Hokusai's bolder, more formal prints. Subtle use of color was essential in Hiroshige's prints, often printed with multiple impressions in the same area and with extensive use of '' bokashi'' (color gradation), both of which were rather labor-intensive ...

Kōsatsu
A kōsatsu (, literally "High plaque"), also called Seisatsu (, literally "Controlling plaque"), was a public notice of the han-lord's or shogun's proclamations earlier in Japanese history. They were local or nationwide laws written on a wooden plate, placed in the ''kōsatsu-ba'' of the ''shukuba'' or '' sekisho'' ( 関所), the border between han, where there was frequent traffic. The kōsatsu was used from the late Nara Period until the early Meiji period. One of the kosatsu in the Edo Period was on prohibiting Christianity. As the people's literacy rate improved and the modern nation emerged, the kōsatsu was abolished in 1873 and eventually replaced by the Kanpō (Japanese government gazette) and other means of public notice.
