Description: Ejiri lies across Shimizu Bay from Okitsu, home of the Japanese inn made famous by Oliver Statler's novel. The legendary pines of Miho now witness freighters entering and leaving the bay. Ejiri is the 19th station of the Tokaido., Tokaido Series: Ejiri-Miho; [no.] 6, During the summer of 1984, Walt Padgett bicycled and camped Japan's Tokaido, documenting the famous "53 Stations of the Tokaido" prints of Ando Hiroshige and Junichiro Sekino. Since that time Mr. Padgett has been producing his own series of woodblock prints from his travels on this historic highway.
