Description
Odawara Castle — the great fortification of the Hojo clan that controlled the Kanto region for a century before Toyotomi Hideyoshi's siege ended Hojo power in 1590 — is depicted in this print from Tokuriki's "Famous Historic Places and Holy Places" series. The current Odawara Castle reconstruction dates from 1960 and is one of Japan's many postwar concrete castle rebuilds, but Tokuriki's print likely depicts either the reconstruction or an earlier version of the site that evokes the castle's imposing historical presence on the Tokaido road.
