Excerpt from Danitrio:
Goyu was the 36th station of Tokaido’s 53 Stations, dating back from the Edo period (1603‑1868). There were actually 56 stations along the old 350 mile-long Edo highway (Edo is modern‑day Tokyo). Each station was known for its lively street of inns and local establishments, and the images humorously depict waitresses from different inns competing for customers.
