Saigoku Kaidō (Yamazaki Michi) Map

The Saigoku Kaidō was an Edo Period highway that went toKyoto without passing through Osaka. This highway ﬂourished
due to western feudal lords using it when travelling to Edo(now Tokyo) due to the alternate attendance system. Thissystem required feudal lords to spend alternating years in theirown domain and in Edo. This is a map that the shogunate
ordered a magistrate to produce. Just the section with Minoh isover 4 meters long. The Segawa, Hanjo lodgings, distancemarkers, Katsuoji Temple and Kasuga Shrine among otherplaces are marked on this map. The houses that lined thehighway were carefully drawn individually one by one, allowing
us to see what it would have been like at the time.

Period (1748~).
