History
The post station of Fuchū-shuku was also a castle town for Sunpu Castle in the former Suruga Province.[1]
The classic ukiyo-e print by Andō Hiroshige (Hōeidō edition) from 1831–1834 depicts travellers crossing the Abe River to the west of the post station. A woman is being carried in a kago, while other people are fording the stream on foot.

gollark: If you are to actually make bold claims about theoretical physics instead of just paraphrasing random quantum things it would be beneficial to learn the relevant maths so you can understand the models.
gollark: I'm glad you are adding topic labels to this. This is very useful and I'd never have known this without you mentioning it.
gollark: Fascinating.
gollark: As far as I know this is only true of some things, and in general things just have mass because they have energy and ??? things occur with this.
gollark: If you are saying "the only reason anything has mass is the Highs boson" then according to my very approximate knowledge this is not true.
