Description
The Nikko Kaido (Nikko Highway) is one of the five main highways which connected Edo (Tokyo) and Nikko, a small city in the mountains north of Tokyo, a road of about 140 km.
An old woman with a basket on her back walks along a path covered with majestic cedar trees, the vertical composition capturing the incredible height of the repeating cedars. The bright sun is visible just around the corner of the road and a small stream runs along the road.
