Hokusai's own Tokaido series (Tokaido gojusan tsugi) is often overshadowed by Hiroshige's Hoeido edition, but offers a distinctively angular, powerful interpretation of the road by Japan's greatest master.
Odawara, the castle town guarding the approach to the Hakone mountain pass on the Tokaido, appears in this print from Hokusai's Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido series (Tokaido gojusan tsugi). Odawara's strategic position — historically the stronghold of the Hojo clan and later a major daimyo domain — lent the station a gravity beyond the traveler's convenience, making it a city with its own military and cultural presence.
