A row of Japanese cedar trees along the Nikko Road

Imaichi was an important junction on the way to Nikko, where Onari (Nikko) Kaido, Riheishi Kaido and Aizu Nishi Kaido meet. These boulevards are lined with cedar trees donated by Matsudaira Masatsuna on the occasion of the 33th anniversary of the death of the Shogun Ieyasu. The rickshaw and puller in the centre of the road emphasize the size of the cedar trees.==Date:unknown, Place:Imaichi, Photo:Kusakabe Kinbei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number2‐33‐0]
