The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kiso Kaidō
- The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kiso Kaidō
The nihongo|Sixty-nine Stations of the Kiso Kaidō|木曾街道六十九次|Kiso Kaidō Rokujūkyū-tsugi is a series of "ukiyo-e" works created by Utagawa Hiroshige and Keisai Eisen. There are 71 total prints in the series (one for each of the 69 post stations and Nihonbashi; Nakatsugawa-juku has two prints). The common name for the Kiso Kaidō is "Nakasendō," so this series is sometimes referred to as the Sixty-nine Stations of the Nakasendō. It is a follow up to Hiroshige's "The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō" and he produced 47 of the prints, with Eisen being responsible for the rest.[ [http://www.hiroshige.org.uk/hiroshige/kisokaido/kisokaido.htm Hiroshige - Kisokaido] . www.hiroshige.org.uk.

The Nakasendō was one of the Five Routes constructed under Tokugawa Ieyasu, a series of roads linking the historical capitol of Edo with the rest of Japan. The Nakasendō connected Edo with the then-capital of Kyoto. It was an alternate route to the Tōkaidō and travelled through the central part of Honshū, thus giving rise to its name, which means "Central Mountain Road". Along this road, there were sixty-nine different post stations, which provided stables, food, and lodging for travelers.
