The Tōkaidō was the great road that linked Edo, today's Tokyo, with Kyoto, with fifty-three post stations where travellers stopped. Mariko was a small village along the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Japanese title says «famous teahouse», and its fame had a name: tororo-jiru, a soup of grated yam that travellers stopped on purpose to taste, and which the shop signs announce to passers-by. More than a century earlier the poet Matsuo Bashō (1644-1694), the most famous author of haiku, the short Japanese poems, had put together in a few lines the plum blossoms, the young greens and the soup of Mariko. Hiroshige plants a plum tree in bloom right next to the inn: anyone who knew those lines found them again in the print. Our reproduction comes from the impression in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a kitchen or a dining room it brings the pleasure of a stop on a journey.
