This [oban](/glossary/oban) prints five Tokaido stations from the Nagoya area — Akasaka, Fujikawa, Okazaki, Chiryu, and Narumi — each with its identifying landscape or activity. Okazaki was famous for its castle and stone lanterns; Narumi for its tie-dyeing textiles; and Chiryu for its iris gardens. Kuniyoshi's multi-station sheet from c. 1830-35 offers a digest of the highway's character in this stretch, balancing topographic record with compositional elegance.
