![]() It's an academic work that assumes you are already familiar with the topic of Tokaido in general and offers you an additional layer of information: how did the image of Tokaido change with time, how was it depicted, what did it symbolise for different people and in different periods. ![]() This book is great and I learned a ton from it.īut first, I wanted to note that this is not a book describing Tokaido road and its postal stations. Jilly Traganou “ The Tokaido Road: Travelling and Representation in Edo and Meiji Japan”.At least I feel like I've walked back and forth on the road a dozen times, and can easily advise other Edo-era travellers on the best detours, the easiest barriers to get through, and other useful trivia. It examines Tokaido from all angles and in great detail. ![]() If you only have time and energy to read one book about Tokaido, let it be this book.
