Description
This 1961 color woodblock of Odawara — the castle town at the foot of the Hakone mountains — belongs to Sekino's "New Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" series, which revisited the classic highway subject with a contemporary eye. Odawara's castle, rebuilt after wartime damage, looms over a town that had experienced both historical drama (a famous siege in 1590) and modern reconstruction, and Sekino's depiction navigates between these temporal layers.
