Maisaka
Description
Maisaka is the thirtieth station on the Tōkaidō, and again Yoshitoshi has echoed Hiroshige’s illustration of this stage in the ‘Hoeido’ Tōkaidō series. At Maisaka, a connection between Lake Hamana and the Pacific had formed in 1499, after an earthquake and associated tidal wave. The new opening was called Imagiri, which means “now broken”. To avoid a lengthy detour around Laka Hamana, most travellers took ferries across the gap, to the next station at Arai.
