Hiroshige captured the journey along the Tokaido road,the highway connecting Edo to Kyoto, the imperial capital. With the restrictions on travel in the Tokugawa Shogunate centuries, urban populations embraced the essence of travelling and the arts and Hiroshige became one of the most prominent and successful ukiyo-e artists.
