Part of Kuniyoshi’s 55 Cats on the Tōkaidō · Episode 3

Our journey through Kuniyoshi’s 55 Cats on the Tōkaidō continues into western Shizuoka. Sleeping, hunting and food-loving cats turn the region’s post-town names into visual and phonetic jokes. Their gestures reveal as much as the captions beside them. How does one artist make a familiar road feel entirely new? Explore the third episode in this playful Edo-period travel series.
