The New Japanese Geography Film Series: Tokaido, Yesterday and Today

0.0 1958 | 21 min

This film presents a contemporary Tokaido completely transformed from the scenery famously portrayed by Utagawa Hiroshige in the Edo Period: a landscape traversed by rail tracks and busy with cars coming and going.

The journey continues to Kyoto and Osaka
