The Tōkaidō was the great road that linked Edo, today's Tokyo, with Kyoto, with fifty-three post stations where travellers stopped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween Miya, today part of Nagoya, and Kuwana the road on foot came to an end: you had to cross Ise Bay by boat. The crossing was called the «seven-ri ferry», because it was seven ri long; the ri was the Japanese unit of distance, just under four kilometres, so the crossing was about twenty-seven kilometres. Hiroshige places us beside two boats that have just arrived, with their sails half lowered and the passengers ready to step ashore, while on the right the castle walls seem to rise out of the water. Our reproduction comes from the impression in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn an entrance hall or a living room it brings the breath of the open sea.
