Description

This is a wooden model kit of a building or other structure.

The Tokaido is one of the five roads established by the Tokugawa shogunate during the Edo period to unify the country, and is a road that connects Nihonbashi in Tokyo to Sanjo Ohashi in Kyoto, roughly 492 kilometers apart. Fifty-three post stations were established, and travels and goods were to be sent there one after another. Utagawa Hiroshige's ukiyo-e paintings of this streetscape are famous, and are often featured in waka and haiku.

Shinagawa-shuku is the first post town on the Tokaido, located in present-day Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo. It was a town that prospered from fishing and shipping, with a concentration of shipping wholesalers and marine product wholesalers, and was a place where many people, including feudal lords, came and went. At the beginning of the Edo period, samurai travel was mainly for the purpose of official business, but gradually, sightseeing trips for the purpose of visiting temples and shrines became popular among common people. Many teahouses were established, and those who traveled on the Tokaido and those who sent them had banquets at the teahouses in Shinagawa to bid farewell to one another.

Woody Joe brings us a wonderfully detailed wooden model kit depicting the station at Shinagawa-shuku! The traditional Japanese scenery is compactly condensed and laser-cut for precision and easy assembly. Trees of different colors are used to express the scenery painted by Hiroshige Utagawa; you can admire the view from the post town side and the sea side. Production time is approximately 10 hours.
