Event Description

Join Scott Schweigert, Curator of Art & Civilization at the Reading Public Museum in Pennsylvania, in the Root Family Auditorium for a talk about the Tokaido road in Japan from Edo (Tokyo) to Kyoto. The Shōguns traveled the Tokaido to pay homage to the Emperor and the stops along the way became popular spots. Ando Hiroshige's series of prints are the most famous depictions of these fifty-three "stations" and reflects a time long ago on the island of Japan.
