Kyōka Poems as Chimes along the Tōkaidō (Kyōka tokan ekiro no suzu 狂歌東関駅路鈴)
Kyōka Poems as Chimes along the Tōkaidō is a woodblock-printed illustrated book of comic kyōka verse, made in Edo in 1830 by the artist Totoya Hokkei (1780–1850) and aimed at a general readership of travellers and urban poetry lovers. Its double-page spreads pair monochrome landscape and roadside scenes of the Tōkaidō highway with brush-lettered poems set in the open sky or margins, showing a designer how text and image can share a page through loose line work and generous empty space.
