From The 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō (Hoeido-Edition)

The Oi River flows between Suruga and Totomi.

The way it crosses several sandbars is just like the saying, "You can cross

the Hakone 8 ri on horseback, but you can't cross the Oi River.

" When the water level rose, people were stuck for a month, but thanks to that,

the post town prospered.

It is said that the Shimada hairstyle was invented by a prostitute from Shimada.

The 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō (Hoeido-Ban) were reproduced

by Tokyo traditional woodcut craft Association
